Removal of Lamaso

 

 

 

In 1842 Assyrians living in the mountains of Hakkari and Tiyari faced a massive attack by Bedir Khan's Kurdish troops , which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of Christian Assyrians.

Henry Lyard drew this sketch in 1847 while witnessing the removal of Lamaso. Read below the detailed description of how Lamaso was removed from its original place when discovered.

Let's not forget, this time period was a very bloody period for the Assyrians. While thousands of Assyrians were being massacred our Historical Icons were being taken. Nevertheless, The same way the kurds participated in our massacres they also participated in removing our antiquities.

According to sources, In 2003 during the instability that followed Iraq's loss, some Kurdish forces and other elements engaged in a looting rampage, pillaging regional museums and other cultural institutions, stealing some 4,000 items. At the National Museum of Iraq, perhaps the greatest storehouse of antiquities in the Middle East, "the 28 galleries of the museum and vaults with huge steel doors guarding storage chambers that descend floor after floor into unlighted darkness had been completely ransacked. Investigations stated that most of the artifacts were transferred across Europe through northern Iraq.
