Like remember when the military literally just landed helicopters on top of the ruins of babylon without giving a single shit about the cultural heritage about not just Iraq, but the world. 

They caused substantial damage to the Ishtar Gate, one of the most famous monuments from antiquity […] US military vehicles crushed 2,600-year-old brick pavements, archaeological fragments were scattered across the site, more than 12 trenches were driven into ancient deposits and military earth-moving projects contaminated the site for future generations of scientists.[78]

And this was done without actually targeting the site with weapons. 

goddamn i hadn’t even heard of this until literally right now. how fucked do you have to be to intentionally cause damage to archaeology from the literal cradle of civilization
