that's d, w dot com the 1st time that i saw it, it was in 2004 as a video and i really cried. and that's why i decided to as savvy archaeology, that's was, i'm with the vision for me to study and to see if my culture the rising up to 53 maces tool. that was the largest standing buddhist statues in the world. testament to buddhism in the bottom, a young valley, the heart of afghanistan, the,

the sculptures suffice to 1500 years in spanish, it is long and its battle icons. then came the town up in the midst international protest. the speakers were blown up. a right single part of that kind of stands rich history. that was more than 20 years ago. now that the telephone is back in power. no one knows what will happen to what remains of the buddhist assigned me on the trauma link this month. so out of me was a child put a slip loan up as his family and that kind of stand didn't have a television. he only sold the destruction later, but he used to put a statue as well. my father told me it is something that, that the connection with religion it is. so we're culturally so we always hide entity this part of our identity and we should keep it. we should save it for future generations.

some want to preserve culture, others wanted destroyers. but why is this about ideology, religion or the power to erase and rewrite history? what to islam? a slight the tell a bundle of the terrorist islamic state group point. why woman is of i? yes. turning the destruction of the ancient multicultural city of palmera into a media production. the infidels can watch on television. is it really just the mattresses and the p? uh. excuse me, smiley. i'm sure it's definitely more about religious fanaticism than anything else . so i'm just going, it is quite clearly about taking up space and marketing territory. is that something from flushing and if there's money to be made from that one, even better, just because then you can use it to buy weapons, come and come from the black market of antiquities is flourishing. cultural property is valued world wide and it's protected. but why,

what the cultural treasures both alone and those of other countries mean to us? which makes it worth something to someone, then it's worth protecting. because the last about so history, it gives a string. some can be in a ration tombs on time on, so it is for a record of pass cultures is also a good reminder that our own and they also power some of the ones that we travel 3350 years back in time. to an ancient culture revolution rivera, i cannot and elevated the sun, go off into the center of worship, thus upsetting the h to jeep sion pantheon of gods. often represented by the disk of the sun, protected the defined family. the pharaoh is watching invitation and their daughters till they all rob the strange to canada,

and also revolutionize the us of portraiture. the distinctive elongation hits not owed to any illness, as was previously for that reflects the new amana style. i cannot and broke radically with the past. he suppressed old coats abolished the priesthood of omen and made plenty of enemies as a result. when the pharaoh died after 20, you rang his portraits with no longer voltage and many were destroyed. in the front this i'm in the cloud, them in front. this people did not believe on what this ma'am had initiated a talking any so they actively wanting to to a person's voice. you can use it tight or putting you on the psychiatrists as deliberately destroyed any images and relieves of pharaoh. i cannot miss it. often guessed, often the spouse is not going to do that. they will probably only given the order to destroy any visible traces. the pharaoh often leaving the capital hot. hello,

i'm on the boost type of in the field of tired. there's 3 of us you might you sunday some possible to meet. you have that way. he disappeared from the historiography of which ones and for the 1st week the only female pharaoh did not fit any bedroom. although have shipped suit was awesome to trade with the ceremonial bid like a male p as a woman, pharaoh was too much to handle the contemporaries they raised to image. this scandalous woman was not to be remembered. the hardship such teacher was also posthumously disgraced guilty by association. his inscription was partially scratched off. the the do you raise your memory with for religious or political reasons, is so common in history that there is even

a specific term for it. not your memorial, censoring the memory of disagreeable pre dismissive, this practice was especially coming in the roman empire, this pedal painting to fix and for us of 2 meals zadvydas and his family. the missing face is that if his son gates us who was murdered by his own brother, who then had just give me 2 raised a dental office, it's a my images of certain personalities that will destroy you just kind of both stopped to use an industry. she's not, one was a, for example, that you were done in such a way that i can see that something that has been raised data set itself all. it was virtually forbidden to talk about it. but everyone could see that i did this on the so it was a warning at the same time as of the fact that someone was not only made to be forgotten in a sense. the guessing itself is what was remember. you know? the conundrum. if posterity still remembers the ratio of a person after

a long time with a really forgotten, oh, odd, i remember even move to being a raised with paintings. it's usually clear who was a raised and why, but that's not the case with sculptures. how do we know what is it the boss to this prussian rule was deliberately whacked in the nose, or if it's simply fell off in museums, sculptures used to be given n u nose, and those jobs, so to speak. nowadays, they prefer to show the missing pieces on the face and to try to find explanations this thing. so visa is also missing its nose and research as a still trying to work out why the creations of the caution series asterix apparently found the nose mystery. so intriguing that they decides to have the account open, it's accidentally break it off with the subtle message. don't have your nose in the,

[000:00:00;00] the jugs aside. this was a series as mess or an agent way, a timeframe with a start. she was treated like a personal assault the, the items in his doctor, every stopped you, was a kind of substitute both of you for the, you know, and which was either placed in the temple on the, to reduce an through ritual known as the opening of the mouth, the statue was ground to the kind of vitality back to i not leaving space kind of to critical. or even the, when it's nose was broken off at the start, she was deprived of its ability to breeze kite. hm. and yeah,

i'm so this would prevent the person that the statue symbolized from living in the tennessee said, these are taught us could be taught. there's a peasant, into each carts. the, even though greek statues were not quite as spirited, many of them are also missing faces. and it's both and the most important part of the head. it's evident that there has been a lot of modification lights, antique features and imagery, a pagan gods, did not fit in with the wrong eyes of christianity. but heads were not the only things that rolled naked men would not welcome in christianity either. then more

delicate pots were initially chiseled up later replaced by the famous lakes them and gets fucked. lies does. if you compare what happened in antiquity with what the taliban know, the so called a stomach stace, of down to capacity. we don't have any images from the greek and roman antiquities that clearly show these pieces being desecrated. austin will like the top thing that's not true. as for example, to wash is will i know stop when should i stop one short saw it was done, but how to split was transcribed into literature. useful, but it wasn't done. and so publish hospitals at stoughton and good notes of a kind of william chicago hit to the roman empire. i would never have promoted himself for someone who would talk with a statue of his previous hospitals on for the 1st major disputes have a religious autobiography occurred. during the by 17 and pop were images of jesus, mary and the saints a loud and could they also be worshiped. many followers of the orthodox catholics,

i believe the icons, a powerful protective, but 8th century empress considered them blasphemous. across was the only thing that method to them. and for a constancy in the 5th was also not corner classed. the persecution, people who worship icons and had those icons destroyed a cultural struggle with slid up again 800 years later, the new icon across them swept through european churches during the reformation. the new christian doctrine spread by martin luther was strictly against so called dollar tree. churches were looted as a result and thousands of paintings along with other mediaeval, with winter in flames. the nice thing kind of a very strict calvinist in particular, had a very strong desire to set the power in this way of these items by the who must though for the months pm. now on the amc is the band, the volley cans in such

a way that was really disruptions. okay, stick a tough couple guy us on some tied him up and i also had the may sometimes make less the size of the crowd to participate, not which includes a gluten whole bag of lunch. but it was supposed to be said that these iconic thousands of times and had a fuel financial mode to be done because items could be sold for profit, or they were made of gold or silver meltdown. but many people regard at the church as well as a huge phone and aside, especially the so called indulgence. trade with follows could secure the place in heaven with donations of a certain amount which of generation and loss of income for the catholic clergy and about the churches pump and towel was directed towards these practices. and it was difficult to control in some places. the great creature mazda knew to try to pass the thought of follows, but his influence did not reach across the board as i come to class them raged in switzerland and later in england,

the religion is not the only thing that inside should feelings of hatred. politics did 2 in 1789 joined the french revolution protest as man the barricades for liberty and other rights. once again, statues, with the head of this time, those of absolution kings. but the fight for freedom turned into chaos and brutal violence. no sending against people but against icons and not from the royal palaces. anything that represent the hatred to view cardstock received a bid click one of the ship, a member of the national assembly, condemned or ex of extremism and vandalism. he asserted, the cultural prophecy should be protected. how it goes to craig, fuzzy coin,

something that still influences us today. namely the idea of cultural heritage as the ones on the one should not be destroy any proceeding cultural monument. and you can probably, even if they are connected to french king asking because they are monuments of societies, the whole thing and because they were crossed by frenchmen and trucks in 5 the phone, fun schools shopping bored by the, even if they are connected with french king i salute today is still monuments that represent cultural heritage. does i know what to do? and this idea that contempt is assigned to kinda inherent something from an early a culture that runs through the language of cultural heritage clue. what about the radical re thinking with an impact? since the hate convention of 1950 for cultural heritage thoughts hoping to find something of global value that must be protected? there are no more than 1150 will cultural,

a natural heritage sites listed by units go around alone has a particularly high number of cultural heritage sites. 24 no truly is not shared. johannes square and east for hon. one of the largest and most beautiful sites in the world. it's also a to us magnet. but these thoughts came on to political 5 and 2019. often a rainy in general was assess the nicest by the us military. then president donald trump threatened to a tech sites important for rainy and culture in case of retaliation linked to data, shift and confirm that those statements put them on the same level as the taliban. and i s in particular ones, which has been very destructive in recent years, because i mean to keep the own williams, this rhetoric that proves this method as an element of warfare. and that's why we want the destruction of cultural heritage recognized as a war crime, except just as good customer. and that means that the you, in an international court can become resources to protect the cultural heritage

sites and prosecute crimes against them as crimes against humanity sending out faster conflict. in fact, in 2016 the you and sentenced a member of an islam is tera script. 9 years in prison for the destruction of cultural heritage the most liam's and molly, in the desert city of tim buck, 2 was centuries old pilgrimage sites. there are also fees the cultural treasures could be destroyed in the current bill in ukraine, but they have be no talks at a tax so far. fortunately, most cultural heritage sites around the world have been spared destruction that monuments continue to stir rot promotions to the collapse of the soviet union. the face of its monuments was cold into question,

especially the minis statutes of the socialist hero. then the f. a g unveiled and what was been east building became a political issue after the 4th of all. people in berlin would no longer so king to have what they regarded to be an ideologically contaminated statute. but in 1991 to the request of some who had lived in a standing, the statue of linen started to be dismantled. it was broken off into a $125.00 paces, which within, buried outside in his film. goodbye lynn and director of both going back a resurrected the communist revolutionary on hatch and florence rebellion like some angel of utopian allusion. as it saying farewell to socialism, it place to seal assign ality on the fact that the better world lennon had fought so hard for had never come to be back to reality. after much debate in 2015 lennon or at least his head was assumed. the 3 and a half ton had found

a new resting place and she found the citadel's museum, often torching initial flag from various authorities in west germans who dropped at the socialist. idle state buried as california district when there was electrical factors that argued against antonio. and as some people worried that russia was no longer the soviet union of twins, or which a month up the entire monument, they restored. others worried that backward looking for in the east germans would make it a pilgrimage, sided on, and that could blow off into a big problem does pull them out to sign con. meanwhile, sanders and switch to protected species have taken up resident assigned the remans to add on, so they have to be meticulous being caught by hand along with all the families before the pieces could be done. got the picture for long before that was because of adding content. the old

heroes to phone tools and dictators with during latin america or in the arabic speaking world, they all received the same treatment rebels and syria. tough with bush on a set sponsor and pre dismissal on his behalf. in the country side, a statue of process on that side is also destroyed. the most severe, the oppression to move on, the retribution regime changes have also been celebrations by toppling monuments and you it to the the killing of a black man by police brutality outrage, minions. and not just in the us say, the black clouds, measuring movement targets of racism and its historical legacy. the statues of confederate generals and the slavery they defended the monuments had to go the, the same site was installed for the rediscover of america. christopher columbus,

re styled as a hobbies of colonialism and target a piece of emotional debate. history may be reevaluated, but the treatment of new the displaced monuments remains the same. size of mind the i left for healing victory. he is the dictates of lo, beginning for a suitable context to be created for these monuments and public spaces and not just for them to be left standing or simply destroyed as also. and this can be researched on the testers that should have been swept away and he's hired on the village there. i could understand such a wave of rage taking shape me personally. i feel bad in the pitch of my stomach when that was something like that is just to throw in to susan. it's the festa to the nation,

not the monuments like this one to obviously it's on this month. so this transfer of the gym and in science, he presided over the infamous building conference, the laid down regulations, the coughing of africa and the pacific into colonies. should he go the way of the confederate generals? no, said the artist, you are various and thoughts. instead, the statesman else will say this should done new college this summer. it took them 3 months of hardwood to give the grand old want and then a new paper mesh, a coach with many colors. the i see that image on the century. i see a project as a kind of mediation with a rethinking takes place in people's minds is a and we hope this temporary alteration will bring about such a rethinking. through at about 20 minutes, you can say our project, monumental shadows is an intermediate stage, but it has to be since once we're gone from the monuments will still be standing there as always. so it's not like we can pat ourselves on the back and say it was

a job well done. comes on in any case, something more has to happen to. so we're hoping for some discussion at least, and because these are monuments divine, let us in thank me another device. the art project has already led many views to see how this mach with new lines. he's color that also skin may not have big sooner races him, but perhaps it's the missed to find him. a little is playful approach to this some of the colonial era monuments to come in. other countries tends to rise some more basic questions and that's interested in the end because of the material quantities of paper, monumental shadows raises the question, could do monuments really have to be meant for a ton of to you at least understand not for a ton of to you, do we have to have this kind of thing a total of us? how can we think along more temporary lines that they have the office becomes sapiens who can show the way out of the historical cycle of toppling monuments, one after another long. the stand also has to have to deal with whatever society will government can't manage any other way. and that includes an autistic

perspective on monuments raising on team, on human. so handling them some other way, some of maybe with holograms or something, whatever. so it could also be something really exciting, interesting on design to create something temporary that can be exciting to. i'm of the firm conviction that in a democracy it can be really wonderful to have so many different possibilities. the most abilities, the heart of the choice, the debates over the monument to freedom, in unity for jim and his reunification reached for nearly 15 years. do we need the monument to hold it? so with the result was this gigantic cecil telling me that what we're getting along quite well without this monument. i think some day, many people will say we could have done just as well without it even though you have a permanent designation of a spot that you attribute some event to. we live on the farm. the farm. that recognition takes has softened

a bit. it's no longer as figurative or marshall informed when and given our digital li dominated lives, it would be nice to have some kind of supplemental digital imagery that couldn't turn be changed some day. but the monument, it goes with that, and that marks the spot would remain unchanged. desk even in by me. yeah, not every one is willing to consign the empty space left by the buddhist statues to oblivion. but any attempt to restore them would cost millions of euro's money desperately needed by the many stopping atkins. states for the restoration of cultural heritage wants destroyed digital 3 d printed solutions. the possibility to put these by copies says not key on logistics. on so out of me, hopes the telephone will keep that promise and protect what remains of the goddess they are saying that they're protecting that the nobody knows because anything that

can change their mind and they do something they, they're starting because now they are new and then they don't know how to do it, but you don't know what's happening in future. will the taliban for the cultural heritage months? so out of me isn't the only one with doubts. this next to work conservative. 8 who essential the faith and of ghost national a nation is still alive and its culture as a life. so if you don't have culture, you're not, we are nothing. so if you see it worldwide, this is the same. you are nothing, this is our 5. so we should know what so costs and what so tell us how us so culture. it's part of our identity. it's international identity,
