| | Before the 1991 war, looting of antiquities from the Iraqi land where ancient Mesopotamian civilizations once thrived was rare, according to experts, because tough laws preventing exportation had been instituted after Saddam Hussein's Baath Party ascended to power in the late 1960s. | | | After the war and the imposition of sanctions, the looting took off with Iraq's largely uncharted troves of antiquities raided by a populace seeking economic relief. | | | Although an international effort is under way to track and recover the treasures of the Baghdad museum, experts say there is little hope of knowing the full extent of the thefts of the past dozen years or of grasping how the losses have damaged studies of the evolution of civilization. |
