@baibar89 @OrthoTater @MichaelButtonX Wrong. The Iraqi Army was very exsitent and got help from the US.

@OrthoTater @DatwaxMay @MichaelButtonX Because that thing called the Iraqi Army didn't exist, wasn't US-backed for a decade and didn't fall in swathes of the country. Idiot.

In 2015, ISIS captured Palmyra and demanded its head of antiquities reveal where the treasures were hidden.
He was 81 years old. He refused.
Khaled al-Asaad had spent over 50 years excavating and protecting Palmyra, the caravan city that once rivalled Rome in the Syrian desert.
He learned Aramaic to read its inscriptions. He raised his children among its ruins and named his daughter Zenobia, after its rebel queen.
Before the city fell, he helped evacuate hundreds of artefacts to safety. ISIS interrogated him for weeks to find them. But he gave them nothing.
They executed him in the square and left his body among the columns he had spent his life defending.
Archaeology is not a soft profession. Sometimes the people who guard the past die for it.

The Shamir is a mysterious object mentioned in Jewish tradition, particularly in the Talmud and Midrash.
In the Gemara, the shamir is a worm or a substance that had the power to cut through/disintegrate stone, iron and diamond.
King Solomon is said to have used it in the building of the first Temple in Jerusalem in place of cutting tools.
Referenced throughout the Talmud and Midrashim, the Shamir was reputed to have existed in the time of Moses as one of the ten wonders created on the eve of the first Shabbat just before God finished creation.
Moses reputedly used the Shamir to engrave the stones of the priestly breastplate of the High Priest of Israel.
King Solomon, aware of the existence of the Shamir but unaware of its location, commissioned a search that turned up a "grain of Shamir the size of a barleycorn."
Solomon's artisans reputedly used the Shamir in the construction of the Temple. The material to be worked, whether stone, wood or metal, was affected by being "shown to the Shamir."

Aristotle didn't think young people should study politics.
Near the beginning of the Nicomachean Ethics, he says:
"This is why a youth is not a suitable student of political science; for he lacks experience of the actions in life, which are the subject and premises of our arguments."
Politics, Aristotle argues, isn't like mathematics, where the same formula always produces the same answer. It deals with human beings, and human beings are messy, emotional, inconsistent, and endlessly complicated. Understanding them requires living.
Someone who has never managed a family, worked through failure, experienced betrayal, or carried real responsibility simply hasn't seen enough of life to judge it well. They may know the theories, but they don't yet know people.
That's why Aristotle thought experience was one of the greatest teachers. Wisdom doesn't come from reading another book or winning another argument. It comes from years of observing how people actually behave and learning the difference between what sounds good and what is good.
It's an interesting idea because modern society assumes the opposite. We believe that more information automatically leads to better judgment. Aristotle wasn't convinced. He believed knowledge without experience was incomplete.
In other words, you could memorize every political theory ever written and still lack the wisdom needed to govern well.
