 [[image:artifactPHAMr_.jpg align="left"]] Situation
====Iraq is modern Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia's treasures lies underneath Iraq. Since the US - Iraq war started in 2001, many archaeologists are afraid that all the evidence and treasures will be destroyed during the war. Archaeologists make a plea to spare Iraq's treasures. ==== ====Archaeologist McGuire Gibson says, "People don't understand that Iraq is more important than Egypt in world heritage. The whole country is a archaeological site." If we keep destroying Iraq, we are destroying the unknown treasures. The US //is// doing doing something about this to preserve the artifacts. ==== ====According to "Times of India" on March 17th, Hameed-Shihab, the head of Kuwait's department of museums and antiquities, says, "Suddam used ancient artifacts to hide tanks and weapons, and built bunkers near the sites. He thinks Saddam will do so again." ====

My Opinion
====In my opinion, I think Saddam is using this as a threat for us because we want to explore the area to find some artifacts and treasures that are very important. I think we should be careful of what we are doing to Iraq if we want to preserve the artifacts and treasures that has not been explored. I think Ancient Mesopotamia is an interesting country to study about and it's our responsibility to try to keep the artifacts well put together. ====
