Valuable Artifacts Stolen from the National Museum Located in Damascus
Ancient statues and additional items have been stolen from the National Museum of Syria in Damascus, sources confirm.
The theft was noticed on the start of the week, when staff allegedly found that one of the museum's doors had been damaged from the interior.
The half-dozen missing pieces were crafted from marble and traced back to the Roman period, one official stated to the news agency.
Cultural heritage officials said it had opened an investigation to determine the "details surrounding the disappearance of a collection of artifacts", and that measures had been implemented to strengthen safeguarding and observation methods.
The head of domestic security in Damascus province, Brig-Gen Osama Atkeh, was referenced by the government press as stating that authorities were examining the theft, which he said had targeted several "historical artifacts and rare collectibles".
He added that guards at the institution and other persons were being interviewed.
The Damascus Museum, which was created in 1919, contains the primary historical artifacts in Syria.
It contains clay cuneiform tablets originating to the ancient era from historical site, where evidence of the oldest known complete alphabet was found; early centuries CE Greco-Roman sculptures from the ancient city, a significant ancient sites of the classical era; and a third century religious building that was built at another archaeological site.
The museum was had to cease operations in the early 2010s, a year after the start of the internal strife. A large portion of the collection was evacuated and kept at undisclosed sites to ensure their safety.
It partially resumed in recent years and resumed full operations in early this year, one month after rebel forces overthrew the Assad regime.
Every one of nationally recognized sites were harmed or significantly impacted during the civil war.
The militant faction destroyed multiple ancient buildings and additional edifices at the archaeological site, stating that they were against their beliefs. International authorities censured the damage as a violation.
Countless artefacts were also damaged or looted from archaeological sites and collections.
