U.S. Base Damages Ancient Babylonian Temple

Camp Alpha, a U.S. military base in Iraq, was built directly on top of the ancient temple area of Babylon. The base's location was chosen to protect the archeological site from looters. Instead, the base has resulted in damage that some antiquities experts characterize as "horrifying." Hear NPR's Renee Montagne and archeologist John Russell.


How disturbing. WTF are we DOING over there !?!?!?!

1. Just listened to the NPR report
Unfortunately, he admits himself that he does not know when the "damage" occured since he has no prior reference point. He gets to the site and calls it "horrifying" yet he's never even been there before.
