The
Islamic
State
of
Iraq
and
al-Sham
(ISIS)
has
embarked
on
a
campaign
to
destroy
or
sell
priceless
world
heritage
relics
throughout
the
area
under
its
control.
While
images
of
the
outrageous
destruction
of
priceless
artifacts
have
been
seen
throughout
the
world,
the
strategic
and
military
implications
of
comprehensive
antiquities
looting
and
ISIS
propaganda
about
antiquities
are
of
vital
importance
and
correspondingly
are
considered
throughout
this
Letort
Paper.
In
particular,
ISIS
funding
from
the
illicit
sales
of
antiquities
(and
high
quality
fakes)
is
a
serious
problem
and
may
help
ISIS
remain
functional
even
after
other
sources
of
revenue
are
increasingly
disrupted
or
eliminated.
Should ISIS experience additional defeats and further loss of territory in Iraq and Syria, an ongoing stream of revenue could fund a nucleus of the organization while it searches for opportunities to rebuild itself and prove its continued relevance through spectacular acts of terrorism. Antiquities, if hidden and trafficked later, along with reproductions marketed as original masterpieces, could give the organization the financial lifeline it needs to stay operational and relevant, even if it is forced to transform itself from a “caliphate” controlling territory to a more simplified type of terrorist organization operating out of portions of the areas it once ruled.
