It’s upsetting to hear about the destruction of these historic buildings and statues. We can only hope in time the world will become more peaceful, hopefully creating opportunities of preservation of such site thus enabling a booming tourism industry to support localised development and economy growth. Perhaps replicas could be made?
They actually were made! Immediately after the destruction of the Lamassu statuses by the Islamic state an exact replica was constructed in London and put on display, actually really heartwarming
