ISIS Smashed Priceless Artifacts? They Might Not Have Been Real

“If you watch the video – which is, of course, what the Islamic State wants you to do – you’ll notice that several of the pieces disintegrate into a cloud of white powder as they hit the ground. That is plaster not stone, the experts say: Those statues are modern replicas. At one point, you can also see metal rods sticking up through the broken legs of a standing figure, another clue that piece is modern.”
