Illegal digs endanger Syria's heritage
The article reveals the ongoing illegal archaeological excavations in Syria, which are often driven by searches for gold and purported treasures. These activities are led by professional individuals and external networks that conduct organized looting through excavation. This phenomenon results in the destruction of archaeological layers and the loss of significant historical information. The activity has declined to over 40-50% of sites, especially in areas far from cities. Secret methods and modern techniques are employed to smuggle artifacts. The widespread belief in buried treasures exacerbates the issue, along with the spread of superstition and charlatanry. These practices threaten the cultural heritage and security, calling for joint efforts to protect it from destruction and violations.
