Destructions in the Syrian Civil War
#20
The state does not need to do so, there are plenty of forgers active as is ..... The number of "finds" offered for sale from Eastern Europe is staggering. EBay is rife with forgeries/objects without provenance. So is the antiques trade. So the collectors try even harder to get the authentic stuff, saying, "He, but I got a real one".
Robert painted a picture of poor people trying to scrounge a meal, but it is equally possible this looting was done by militia wanting to get money for arms. The finds did have to be taken out of the country to be sold, so that spells organisation.
