Podcast: Looting the Cradle of Civilization
Looting the Cradle of Civilization
Recent satellite images document the scale of destruction from
organized looting to thousands of vital archaeological sites in the
region known as the “cradle of civilization.” During a lecture at Baruch
College, “Looting the Past, Destroying the Future: Revolution,
Terrorism, and Archaeology in Egypt and Syria,” Baruch College
archaeology professor Anna Boozer and John Jay College of Criminal
Justice art crime professor Erin Thompson discuss the damage that
looting will have on the cultural heritage for future generations.
