Good news, pass it on.
Neanderthals must be like the Seven Year Locust.
They return to the same location, once every 40,000 years.
Hopefully at least some of the buyers were only doing so to try to preserve the items so they could be hidden away from the barbarians.
Isis has only been around for, what, 5 years? And already so much of antiquity has been lost from that region as a result of their ignorance and dull-wittedness.
Archaeologists Return to Neanderthal Cave as Neanderthals Pushed from Iraq

The truth is no archaeological sites or any artifacts from the past or any modern day buildings, churches etc are safe in the fanatic Muslim world. Even the ancient Egyptian sites were ignored and uncared for for centuries. The fact is most of the Muslim world doesn’t care about history -— particularly any history they disagree with. It’s better that the artifacts from the ancient Middle East be taken from these countries and housed in museums in the West. And besides, the Arabs/Muslims didn’t create these ancient monuments and artifacts in the first place.
