the rising up to 53 maces tool. there was a lot just standing buddhist statues in the world. testament to buddhism in the by me, young valley, the heart of afghanistan, the, the sculptures suffice to 1500 years in spanish, it is long and it's ban on icons. then came the town of that, the, i mean, international protest, the speakers were blown up. every single part of that kind of stands rich history. that was more than 20 years ago. now that the tell event is back in power. no one knows what will happen to what remains of the buddhist. send me the trauma link

this month. so out of me was a child to put his foot blown up as his family and that kind of stand didn't have a television. he only sold the destruction leisha, but he used to put a statue as well. my father told me it is something that, that 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. the some want to preserve culture, others wanted destroyers. but why is this about ideology, religion or the power to erase and rewrite history? what is the most like 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 tow mirror into a media production. the infidels can watch on television. is it really just the mattresses and the p?

uh. excuse me, i'm going to use. i said, 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 of the last about so history, it gives a string, some kind of information about the tools on time on. so it is for a record of pass cultures is also a good reminder that our own and they also power somebody at one tech at the a week, several,

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. u to jeep sion pantheon of gods, often represented by the disk of the son, protected the divine family. the pharaoh is watching invitation, and they told his king they all rob the strange. i cannot 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 own and made plenty of enemies as a result. when the pharaoh died after 20, you rang his portraits, would no longer want his and many were destroyed. in the front this i'm in the

cloud, them in front this people did not believe what this ma'am had initiated a talking any so they actively want 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 just miss it and often get stuff to know when the spot is not going to do that. they will probably only given the order to destroy any visible traces. the pharaoh often leaving the capital a hotel l. i'm on the boost type. oh, didn't feel tired to do that. you might. yeah. 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. the

scandalous woman was not to be remembered. the a hardship such teacher was also pos, conversely disgraced guilty by association. his inscription was partially scratched off the. do you raise your memory with it for religious or political reasons, is so common in history, that there is even a specific term for them. not sure. memoria, i censoring the memory of disagreeable pre recessive. this practice was especially coming in the roman empire, this pedal painting to fix, and for us of 2 meals zadvydas in his family. the missing face is that if his son gave to us who was murdered by his own brother, who then had his meeting raised, done this off to us. it's images of certain personalities that will destroy you just kind of both statutes and illustrations, not from the same. for example,

that you would 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, 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 that the sit guessing itself is what was remember the conundrum. if posterity still remembers the range 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 fill 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 decided to have the account open accidentally break it off with the subtle message. don't have your nose in the, the jugs aside. this was a series as mess or an agent way, a timeframe with the steps she was treated like a personal assault. the,

the items in his doctor with every stop to was a kind of substitute for the, 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 kite to click on van d, when its nose was broken off at the start. she was deprived of its ability to breeds type into 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 in the east coast the, even the greek statues were not quite as spirited. many of them are also missing faces. and it's both and the most important part,

the head. it's evident that there has been a lot of modification lights, antique features and imagery, a pagan gods, did not present 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 off, later replaced by this famous c, please. then my 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 antiquity that clearly show these pieces being desecrated. often like the top thing is not just for example, marsh 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 that stuff to them. good notes of a kind of william chicago hit

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 lock though, for the months pm. now on the amc is the band, the volley cans in such a way that was really destructive place to get a tough couple guys on some type of email. and i also had the may sometimes they list the size of the crowd to participate, not which included lute saying whole side of the lunch. my, that it was supposed to be said that these iconic thousands of times how to fuel financial mode to be done. because items could be sold for profit, or if they were made of gold or silver the meltdown that 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 and 1789 joined the french revolution protest as manned 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 code for prophecy should be protected. hubbard supposed to pick a few coins, something that still influences us today. namely the idea of cultural heritage. as the ones on the one should not destroy any proceeding cultural, monumental, probably, even if they are connected to french, king asked because they among humans of society as a whole thing. and because they were crossed by frenchmen and trucks in 5 different fonts, schools shopping, bored by the even if they are connected with french king i salute. they are still monuments that represent cultural heritage. this i know what to do. and this idea that contempt is the sign she kind inherent something from an earlier culture that runs through the language of cultural heritage. clue what album

the radical re thinking with an impact since the hate convention of 1954 cultural heritage. thoughts of being defined as something of global value that must be protected. there are now more than 1150 will cultural a natural heritage sites listed by units go around the loan 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 reiney in general, was assess the nicest by the us military, then president donald trump is written to a tax sites important for writing and culture. in case of retaliation. leadership,

i'm just confirming 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 as it didn't exceed 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 spread out faster from flipped. in fact, in 2016 the you and sentenced a member of an as low as tara script to 9 use in prison for the destruction of cultural heritage the most liam's and molly, in the visit, the 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 toxic attacks so far. fortunately,

most cultural heritage sites around the world have been spared destruction that monuments continue to stir rot promotions off to the collapse of the soviet union, the face of its monuments, and was called into question, especially the many statutes of the socialist. he wrote then, the effigy unveiled and what was then 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 land and started to be dismantled. it was broken off into a $125.00 paces, which was then buried outside in his film, goodbye lynn and director of both gun becca resurrected the communist revolutionary

and had been flights rebellion like some angel of utopia, an allusion. as it saying farewell to socialism, a place to seal of finality on the fact that the best of world linen had fought so hard for had never come to be back to reality. often much device in 2015 then in or at least his head was assumed. the 3 and a half ton had found a new resting place. inch bundles, citadels museum, after dodging initial flag from various authorities in west germans who draw that the socialist idols, state buried. a couple of police are struggling to the electrical factors that argued against the new one. as some people worried that russia was no longer the soviet union of twins or which amount that the entire monument firestone, others worried that fact would looking for in the east germans would make it a pilgrimage, sided on. and that could blow up into a big problem. that's pretty much fine con. meanwhile, sons is

a switch to protected species, have taken up president assign remnants to add. and so they have to be meticulous being caught by having, along with all the families before the pieces could be done. got the information for yvonne who before that was the problem that includes the, the, the old heroes, defunct rules and dictators, wasn't there in latin america or in the arabic speaking world, they will receive the same treatment rebels in syria. tough with passion, a sense father and pre dismissal on his behalf in the countryside. a statue of process on the side is also destroyed. the most severe, the oppression to move on the retribution regime changes have also been celebrations by toppling monuments to the the killing of a black man by police brutality outrage, minions,

and not just in the us site. the black lives 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 re discovery of america, christopher columbus, re styled as a housing of colonialism. and target a piece of emotional debate, history may be reevaluated, but the treatment of nearly disgrace monuments remains the same. size of mind, the i left for healing, very confused. 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 on he's hired on the valid or 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 destroying to susan. it's the festa to the nation about the monuments like this one to obviously it's one piece not finish transfer of the gym and in science. he presided over the infamous building conference, the laid down regulations for coughing up africa and the pacific into colonies. should he go the way of the confederate generals? no, said the artist, you wrote various included. instead, the statesman also say this should done new colors this summer. it took them 3 months of hard work to give the grand old want and then a new paper mesh, a coach with many colors. the i see that

emphasis on the century. i see a project as a kind of mediation with a rethinking takes place in people's minds is uh and we hope this temporary alteration will bring about such a rethinking throughout. well, quite a 20 minutes. you can say our project, monumental shadows is an intermediate stage, but it has to be since once we're gone, 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 on. so in any case, something more has to happen. so we're hoping for some discussion, at least because these are monuments divine, let us and thanks a lot their device. the art project has already led many views to see how bismark, with new wise, he's color. they also skin may not have big sooner, raises him. but perhaps it's the missed to find him a little this playful approach to the 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 just because of the material for that piece of paper. monumental shot of his raises the question could do monuments reading have to be meant for

a ton of she 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 have the office becomes sapiens who can show the way out of the historical cycle of toppling monuments, one after another along the stand. also, it's tough to deal with. one other society or government can't manage any other way and that includes an autistic perspective on monuments, raising m t monuments. so handling them some other way, some of maybe with holograms or some sort of a whole lot. it could also be something really exciting, interesting, on design to creating something temporary that can be exciting to. i'm of this firm conviction that in a democracy it can be really wonderful to have so many different possibilities. to more possibilities, the heart of the choice, the debate over the monument to freedom in unity for jim and his reunification reached for nearly 15 years. do we need the monument as whole? if so, with the result,

was this gigantic cecil telling me that one were getting along quite well without this monument? i think some day, many people will say we could have done just as well without it doesn't the queue, the queue, the permanent designation of a spot that you attribute some event to. we live on, on the farm. that recognition takes has softened a bit. it's no longer as figurative or marshall informed one and given our digital li dominated lives, it would be nice to have some kind of supplemental digital imagery that could in 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 young, 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 c, okay? all it just wants to of me hopes the telephone will keep that promise and protect what remains of the board as they are saying that they're protecting that the nobody knows because anything they can change their mind, then they do something that 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 let me isn't the only one with doubts. this makes the work of conservative april 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. your, nothing,
