Now They're Getting Serious Over Syria

No, not the dead people. The damaged artifacts:- 


New Report on Damage to Syria’s Cultural Heritage
  
GHN member and Durham University PhD student Emma Cunliffe has prepared a comprehensive summary of the known damage to cultural heritage sites in Syria. Titled “Damage to the Soul: Syria’s Cultural Heritage in Conflict,” the report draws from a number of sources to present a picture of the destruction – from looting to shelling – that is afflicting cultural heritage sites as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country.

But if the people keep getting killed, is that new Syrian "culture" to be preserved?
