Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]15,000 pieces of human history vanished [music] in 48 hours.

[00:00:06]While the world looked for bombs, a civilization was being erased.

[00:00:11]April 2003, [music] as Baghdad fell, the National Museum of Iraq was left unguarded. For two days, it was chaos.

[00:00:25]We weren't just witnessing a regime change. We were watching the roots of human [music] society get torn out of the dirt.
