Pagan Statues Recreated In Rome

The human-headed winged bull of Nimrud that was destroyed by Islamic State last year will come back to life for tourists visiting Rome’s Colosseum in an exhibition designed to ignite a debate on the preservation of cultural heritage.

Rising From the Ashes: Ebla, Nimrud, Palmyra will feature the replicas of three ancient works from Iraq and Syria reconstructed in Italy using 3D printers and robots. The project was overseen by archaeologists and art historians.

Alongside the winged bull, the exhibition will feature a reconstruction of the Temple of Bel at Palmyra, which was considered Syria’s most important site, and a room of the State Archives of Ebla. All three have been rebuilt to their original dimensions.

Organisers said the purpose of the exhibition was to raise public awareness about the destruction of cultural heritage, and to promote the protection of sites and monuments from war and environmental catastrophes.

Both the Taliban and ISIS have been severely criticized for their destruction of such artifacts.

Our support for the re-creation of such idols, however, is in direct conflict with G-d's commandment:

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 26:1 KJV

Some of you may say "but we're not bowing down to these statues". That may be true from your perspective, but is that the way G-d sees it?

We are a society which is FIXATED on images and idols, and whose only gods are people like Obama ad-Dajjal, Hillary, and the tech titans. That's where our heart is.
