the Eiffel Tower is destroyed one of the
most romantic and recognizable symbols
of the world and Europe is gone now and
forever this mean that your boyfriend
will not propose you beneath it anymore
perhaps he doesn’t want to propose
anyway but maybe it has a bigger meaning
than all of that the pyramids in Egypt
are also damaged just things to do you
think Egypt is the same without the
pyramid is Paris the same without the
Eiffel Tower
imagine Italy without the Colosseum the
Pantheon or even the Leaning Tower of
Pisa imagine India without judgment or
China without the great world are there
more to these monuments than just old
bricks
don’t these monuments have a bigger
meaning to all of us it’s in the way we
identify nowaday a country with its
position in world history a way of
identifying a country and the whole
population usually people preserve their
culture to preserve their collective
memory with their past and tradition it
is also common belief that our culture
work as a route that connect us with our
past and works toward the future of our
communities now I want you all to close
your eyes for five seconds
and think about the most beautiful place
you have ever been on a place that mean
a lot to you a part of your identity and
I will do the same with you
you
imagine it doesn’t exist anymore it’s
destroyed it’s gone this what come to my
mind when I close my eyes this is where
I’m from
and this how it used to look like couple
of years ago this how it looks like
right now I think very few people here
might recognize what used to be Syria
before what used to be a label a very
few is left to identify the country and
soon nothing will be left to identify it
at all if I mentioned the word Syria to
you what my word comes first images to
your mind terror attacks killing blood
suffering and so on I wonder what you
have my sort of Syria before 2011 before
the civil war start Syria was is and
will always remain a very big part of
human history
Syria is known to be one of the oldest
cradle of civilization it laid form
Britain a tablet of platform rated an
economy form language has been found in
the Western observe offered us the first
ordering of letters which is known today
as the alphabet ABC the sake
alphabet agriculture religion trade were
all born in Syria Syria is used to be
known as The Fountainhead of Western
civilization Island saturated with
history the former director of the
louver Museum and Ribeiro has once said
everybody has two home towns his own and
Syria but today I have a very bad news
for you that our cultural heritage is
under attack in Syria Iraq Yemen
Afghanistan and so on cultural heritage
is destroyed to finance terror
individuals are victimized on a global
scale and a global in a religious and
cultural domain and cultural diversity
is targeted the destruction of culture
has become an instrument of terror in a
global scale to weaken society propagate
intolerance and erase memories thus
cultural cleansing is a war crime that
is used nowadays as a tactic of war to
tear humanity from the story we sure
there is a good reason to feel powerless
and angry when we see such a pictures
coming from Palmyra in Syria dynamited
destroyed and a big part of a human
history is lost
seen several same tactics and same
strategies to destroy our common
heritage lot of people here might
remember what her father happened in
Afghanistan couple of years ago 150 feet
high status of Buddha has been dynamited
feared in to sent the Taliban did so on
Afghanistan they did so because they
knew the power of culture to bring
people together carry values identities
and the sense of belonging they knew the
power of culture as a source of
resilience resistance and offers people
who waste during conflict time a ways to
look at future with hope today Isis is
doing the same
putting propaganda videos online willing
to spread hatred all over the world
willing to target vulnerable young women
and men with the attention to radicalize
them Isis is willing to present our next
generation our children a new version of
history cultural heritage is built on
the idea that cultural and natural
monuments that you and I must protect
together the destruction of Palmyra or
Buddha is not only a lose for Syria or
Afghanistan it’s loose for all of us
cultural heritage does not exist
this was the extremists said once they
arrived to Mali 2011 and destroyed its
mausoleums
and the city of Timbuktu one of the
cities that listed on the UNESCO World
Heritage Site list but today the
mausoleums are rebuilt again with the
help of a local people and a world
expert so yes cultural heritage does
exist we are all responsible about
restoring and protecting these monuments
restoring and protecting is not only a
hand work it is also a message in
dialogue tolerance and peace every woman
and man here and outside has the power
to voice this message schools museums
earth houses civil society politic and
the media are all responsible about
sharing these values because these
monuments are who we are twelve years
ago
2005 the National the National Museum of
Iraq in Baghdad has been looted
destroyed and again a big part of a
human history was lost 12 years later
and this year the museum has opened its
door again for everybody there is better
way to show how culture can bring people
together and overcome hatred Isis and
everybody who act like Isis they should
know that everything they destroy we
will be ready to repair it again because
our heritage and culture are zappa are
the legacy and evidence of our past the
excrement the extremists should not have
the last word and they should know that
everything they blow up we will be ready
to restore it again and again and again
just as the destruction can be used as a
weapon to destroy the common things we
used to share it’s preservation and
protection can be used as the tool for
healing peace and comfort but now
