Beheaded Syrian scholar refused to lead Isis to hidden Palmyra antiquities

Daesh militants beheaded renowned antiquities scholar Khaled al-Asaad, 82,  in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra and hung his mutilated body on a column in a main square of the historic site because he apparently refused to reveal where valuable artefacts had been moved for safekeeping. 

According to Syrian state news agency Sana and the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Asaad was beheaded in front of dozens of people on Tuesday in a square outside the town’s museum. His body was then taken to Palmyra’s archaeological site and hung from one of the Roman columns.

Amr al-Azm, a former Syrian antiquities official who ran the country’s science and conservation labs and knew Asaad personally, said the “irreplaceable” scholar was involved in early excavations of Palmyra and the restoration of parts of the city.

Azm said Asaad had played a role in evacuating the contents of the museum before Isis took control, which meant he faced certain arrest. “He’d been there for so long and been part of that city for so long, maybe he figured he lived there all his life and he would die there too, and that’s unfortunately what happened,” he said. “It’s terrible.”

Who remembers a boy who was just playing at war? Did you think this would make you holy? (m.m.)

#i am so sad#you deserved sO MUCH MORE#makes me kinda mad noah was only created to move along other deaths#they made him the bridge between the group and beth#then ty died because they wanted to help noah get home#then noah got all the blame by fans#for no reason#:(#then he got one of the worst character deaths in twd history!#and people say they didn't care about noah#how could you NOT CARE#about this young boy#ripped away from his family#trapped in that hospital for god knows how long#thought his family and town would be alive#dreamed about going home for so long#only for them all to be dead including his mom and brothers#felt the guilt of ty's death when it wasn't his fault at all#had to put down his brother after he turned after believing he might be alive#doubting he could go on#and then feeling like he has to sacrifice himself#so he does#and he's ripped apart and killed
