Syria honors its artifact guardian
In honor of his protection of 513 archaeological items dating from between 3200 and 2000 BC, Syrian citizen Diaa al-Din Khnous preserved these artifacts for 12 years after discovering them while excavating a shelter in Idlib countryside during the 2014 war. Despite difficult circumstances and threats, he refused offers to sell them. The Syrian Minister of Culture praised his role, considering it a reflection of the Syrian citizen's authenticity and loyalty to their country, and a contribution to safeguarding the national heritage from loss or smuggling.
