Middle East: Palmyra Today - Afterword - Extra History
📜 The Middle East's Odenathus - Lies - Extra History
Palmyra is an embodiment of our shared past, but right now it's under the control of ISIS. They have destroyed the antiquities that remind us of our shared past. We would like to take a moment to honor Dr. Khaled al-Assad, the museum director who gave his life rather than reveal the locations of more Palmyrene relics for ISIS to destroy.

Interesting note about Khaled al-Assad: he had a daughter named Zenobia after the Palmyrene queen briefly discussed in the episode. Truly a lover of history. May his sacrifice never be forgotten.

I hope more people learn about Dr. Khaled and his courage. Its just hard hearing that something that lasted so long is gone so quickly. This isn't new. Communist China destroyed plenty of artifacts to separate themselves from the past and the Taliban had been destroyed Kushan Buddhist structures for years. I just hope that what escapes gets into a protected place as soon as possible rather than be lost on the black market or worse

+MrGamerGuy951 Having monuments of the past being destroyed seems to be something that has often happened in history. Many Greek, Egyptian, Aztec, Persian structures and more have been torn down over the millennia by invading armies out of hatred or civilians just looking for stone to make their own buildings. What ISIS is doing is not new, centuries from now ISIS's actions will just be another footnote along with all the other demolished relics of old. Though it may be the single greatest loss of historical architecture, especially considering it's age at the point of destruction.

+MrGamerGuy951 It's a ritual signifying change, When great chaos happens, the new government will try to either try to purify themselves by eliminating all the new errant ways (conservatives) or destroy the part of the old that have lost meaningin a gesture consecrating their rebellion (liberal iconoclasts) In truth, the west had plenty too. Ranging from the Iconoclastic Crisis in Byzantine Empire, the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, Russian Revolution, or when Christianity was introduced into pagan lands. That's why no one sees much of the Celtic/ Norse/ god statues anymore. Yeah, it's a human thing, breaks my heart still though. Hey, chaos suuuuuuuucks. for anyone not ISIS or Littlefinger

even though it's common shockingly at our time and age.. all the lost knowledge, history and rediscovery can't be brought back if people destroys ancient artifacts.. killing the very soul of a culture is just horrifying..
I live in Lebanon Syria is next door ISIS Is next door we are constantly fighting to keep them at bay I shudder to think of their crimes, which range different forms of brutality and barbarism. It saddens me to see the loss of so many ideas from different parts of the ancient civilizations, which shape our lives today, have been lost. what makes me shudder more is what they will do to the ancient cities of Tyr and Saida if the manage to defeat Lebanon's armies and the resistance movements present. The grand Temple of Jupiter in Baalabek will be destroyed. The coastal cities built by the Phoenicians will vanish. The central museum, the only major museum will be destroyed, and with it our past. We must view these artifacts as a bridge between our past and future, and as the government neglects this field, all work is mostly done by civilians. Thanks, Extra Credits. This video came at a perfect time to strengthen Middle Eastern support against the ISIS militia.

Hey, James. Just a quick note that wouldn't come out easily in English. Dr. Khaled Al-Ass'ad rest his soul didn't have the same name as the infamous dictator. I'd love it if you would make a note, because in Arabic, the pronunciation and spelling are very different to the dictator's name. Bashar Al-Assad and Khaled Al-Ass'ad are not related in any way. I'd hate for the legacy of this man to be used to help clean up the image of a butcher. Also, I love you guys for making this episode and the one before it. It's a beautiful gesture.

They can attempt to erase history all they want, but people will never forget. If anything, im even more interested in cultures they've affected with their bigotry BECAUSE of their actions. By attempting to erase, they've reinforced. I may never be able to see those artifacts, but im definitely aware of their existence now, and their role in history. I'll make it my mission to memorialize all they've tried to destroy if i have to.
This does not happen often but you really made me tear up a little. I am a German with some Syrian heritage. The only time, that I have been in Palmyra myself, was when I was only 2 years old. Among all the things, that go on in my life I REALLY hope to someday in the future return to Syria.
Great respect to you for mentioning this and reminding the world of the historical beauty, that is Palmyra. Love from Syria.
Thank you, Dr. Khaled al-Assad.
Beautiful video. Im a history major and plan to work in a museum / historical preservation one day myself. I remember when Isis took Palmyra and I heard the story of this man. It was all I could talk about because I felt so passionate about what this man did. I have always wanted to work with historical artifacts and monuments, but this man giving his life to protect our heritage was what made realize why its important.
Thank you Khaled. May your spirit find what you need.
The day ISIS is wiped out I would have every archaeologist march into the Middle East and reconstruct all the ruins that ISIS had destroyed. Rebuilt brick by brick based on what photos of what we have left of these incredible pieces of history!

***** That's why respect is on the list. When all else fails, you can still respect the person you're shooting at. But to go deeper into the meaning of it all, you're right only from an extremely short sighted point of view. When it comes to generations, bullets only create more bullets. I like to use the Jewish nation as an example. For thousands of years this nation, as a whole, was more preoccuppied with peace and love rather than avenging and killing. And this civilization is still going stronger than ever. Can you name ANY other civilization which has survived for 2000 years almost unchanged?
I feel very lucky to have visited the place and seen some of the things there just a few short months before unrest started to brew in Syria. It's sad to hear so much has been destroyed.
James, your love for history is truly inspiring. Because of you, I've found myself lost in piles of books not just about the topics you've covered, but topics I didn't even know I wanted to learn. I've spent much time thinking about how these past giants changed the way I live today and how the decisions they made shape the world I live in. I've been studying in Florence for the past two months and I have been actively seeking the history of the city, of every building, of every statue and painting, and of every larger than life personality. For everything you have done to open our eyes to our past, thank you.

+scarfacemperor Has to be well planned though, otherwise it will utterly fail no matter how much stuff we send their way ( They'll just steal the stuff in an endless cycle of each side empowering the other side more than harming it). It is also important to focus on the non-ISIS groups around the state (What would you call it?) as they tend to help more effective than any other group (as they have a more adaptable army, which understands ISIS's tactics better. Additionally there is no idea on what will happen to the land afterwards. If we make it into a new country it will be weak, inexperienced and have a lack of diplomatic power, or do we risk letting countries annex the areas they won. This needs to be decided or the area will never get better and another terrorist group will emerge . Overall, I see the need to vanquish ISIS I just think war is never as simple as send a bunch of guys in and hope they win, which seems to be current overall strategy. I personally believe strangling the economic strength of the rich group the best way, but almost any measurable objective is better than none.

One of the bravest things one can do is to die defending something that doesn't involve themselves. The way this man recognized ancient history as something that deserved to be conserved more so than he himself it truly an act of courage. Some history of what happened on this tiny planet will be be preserved thanks to him, and for that, we can all be proud of him. RIP, Khaled Al-Assad!
The simplest thing to do is this. Rebuild the whole thing, even with new stuff. Keep the original stuff at other places for research and things. It's not the original, but heck it sends a message. If whoever rules the place says no? Fuck it, rebuild it somewhere else. People have done it with the gates of Ishtar, the statue of Athena and other stuff. Why wait for another ideology or thought-form or whatever-mind-clutching-thing to do the whole thing again like smash, burn, sell the bits for collectors and shit? Take records, save the rest, move on. Shit like killing what was once was and the people that know them has been done and done for by anybody under any pretense. Doesn't make it right, but it don't stop. Geopolitics, resources and what have you. If you think this is just this idea or that idea that does it, well I got news for you kids. Whether or not it's endorsed or not, somebody's gotta make coin. And that coin no matter how clean you think it is, is always covered in blood. Just make sure it ain't yours. But sometimes, you just can't now can you? That's how humanity rolls sadly. But a few things though, the conquerors and the victors might write and retcon history, but the folks who continue so that history has someone to talk about it, is that professor there, them people that help each other and people who gots some empathy and all that for each other. I don't aim to be all _edgy_ or even _saccharine_ about this, but that's what I learned anyway. I'm out. Catch ya later.
