Religious zealots in the Vatican have probably deliberately damaged and destroyed more priceless art out a sense of modesty than any other religious group. More than one Pope is responsible for hacking penises off statues and painting over genitalia on hundreds or perhaps thousands of works of art.

Our beloved Catholic Church has in it,s infinite wisdom destroyed the pagan cultural artifacts where and whenever they were found by those charged with that specific task. That being the complete destruction of history and truth with it. There is one nation in particular at this moment undertaking state sanctioned destruction of antiquities in Palestine. I haven,t seen that mentioned in this righteous thread.

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
As we see here,the "official religions" are going against these "commandments"
like not forging idols,statues of the virgin,crosses etc.

Look the only way that religons work is to get everyone to believe. If everyone believes then it must be right - like Global warming. That's why religons cannot allow in the same area other religions and if they can get away with it they will eliminate them!

Let's hope the pyramids aren't destroyed. Part of my bucket list is to go and see them and the Sphinx.

Anyway they are protected by being a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The truth is most of this is speculation it turns out. We have seen this in the Middle East and for
that matter it was very much a part of life in the Christian World centuries ago mostly by fanatics.
The positive thing about this process is, it comes about just before education comes to bear.
Once that sets in the civilization comes into being and the God as they know it begins to lose its
grip.
Instead of the Muslims lets look into histories reflective mirror for a moment.
First most of the pagan holidays became Christian Holidays celebrated at the same time as the
ancient practices, and that includes Christmas itself. Once the church established itself in the
holiday world it became the acceptable rational thought, even though it may or may not be all
that rational.
Next the church clung onto dominance by insisting on some certain truths.
The earth was flat, the sun travelled round the earth and we are the only beings in the universe.
To say other wise was blasphemy and you could be executed for that.
Well the earth is not flat, and the earth revolves round the sun. Hmm are we alone in the universe?
Next came the purging of witches and others and the Spanish Inquisition and the madness of the
middle ages.
In the end, we became educated and a society replaced the tribal practices that ruled with the church.
The same will happen in the Middle East as more and more people begin to ask the question our
society was asking centuries ago. And yes we still have fruit cakes in our society but most regard them
with amusement rather than as serious guardians of truth. No the Pyramids will not be destroyed on mass
but there will be some damage by ignorant fools and not all of them are Muslims either.

News pundits of our time will speculate about whether or not the government will do something
radical and the government at the moment is trying to survive its own term in office. Pyramid
destruction is not that high on their list.
Who will damage them? The bloody people who trespass through them in the name of examining
and exploring them they do more damage than the weather. I am not suggesting their is a great
plot here.

I just hope cooler heads will prevail. But there is a movement out there that believes that these are idols.

Archaeologists?

Tourists. Every morning dump trucks drop tonnes of limestone for tourists to take home thinking they have a piece of the pyramids

They should sell them.

Hey that would be one way to destroy them. Open house on the pyramids and Egyptian antiquities. Tourists can rent a chisel. They can have a yard sale at the Cairo Museum.

Brits already did that. The best way to buy a piece of the pyramids is to buy a building in Cairo.

They've been hacked at since the fall of the Egyptian royals.
