In Spring and Summer 2015, the beautiful remains of ancient Palmyra were savagely destroyed by the mobs of the so-called "Islamic State". This page is dedicated to the memory of Khaled al-Assad, the archaeologist who excavated so many remains of this city, and who was brutally murdered by the same mobs in August 2015.
