過激派組織「IS」(イスラム国)は8月25日、世界文化遺産に指定されているシリア中部パルミラの古代遺跡の一つ、バール・シャミン神殿を爆破したとする画像をインターネット上に投稿した。

朝日新聞デジタルによると、画像はIS支持者や中東研究者のTwitterで広まっている。画像は数枚あり、戦闘員が爆発物を神殿内に運び込む様子や爆発の瞬間に立ち上る煙、そして破壊後に残されたがれきの山などが写されている。撮影日時は明らかでない。

シリア文化省は23日に「パルミラ遺跡が爆破された」と発表。ユネスコのボコバ事務局長は神殿破壊を「新たな戦争犯罪であり、シリア国民や人類にとって大きな損失だ」と非難していた

■世界遺産「パルミラ遺跡」とは?

パルミラ遺跡はシリアの首都ダマスカスの北東約230キロ、シリア砂漠の中央にあるローマ帝国時代の都市遺跡。凱旋門、列柱付きの大通り、コリント式の円柱に囲まれたベル神殿、半円形のローマ劇場、公共浴場、墓地の谷などがある。2011年の民主化運動「アラブの春」以降シリアの治安が悪化し、墓の盗掘などが確認され、2013年に危機遺産リストに記載された。

2015年5月にはISが侵攻して制圧し、遺跡の石像を破壊し、女性や子供を含む400人を殺害した。8月18日には遺跡の管理責任者だった考古学者のハリド・アサド氏を斬首して処刑していた

Syria.\n\nPalmyra was in the ancient times an important city of central Syria, located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus and 120 km southwest of the Euphrates. It has long been a vital caravan city for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The Greek name for the city, Palmyra (ΠαλμÏÏα), is a translation of its original Aramaic name, Tadmor, which means \'palm tree\'. Tadmor (in Arabic تدÙر) is today the name of a small city next to the ruins, heavily dependent on tourism.\n\nIn the mid-first century A.D., Palmyra, a wealthy and elegant Syrian city located along the caravan routes linking the Parthian Iran with the Mediterranean ports of Roman Syria and Phoenicia, came under Roman control. During the following period of great prosperity, the Aramaean citizens of Palmyra adopted customs and modes of dress from both the Iranian Parthian world to the east and the Graeco-Roman west.\n\nInfor and reading more at:\nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra (credit:Hovic/Flickr)

Heritage site: Site of Palmyra, Syrian Arab Republic\nOne of many fabulous historic sites in Syria. Every day, taxis take groups of people up to the Arab castle that overlooks the Roman city, to watch the sunset. The view is great , the castle is largely intact and loads of fun to run around, and the colours, best seen when looking in the opposite direction from this picture, are stunning. But the really memorable thing about Palmyra, and, indeed, the rest of Syria was the friendliness and hospitality of the people there. (credit:Neil and Kathy Carey/Flickr)
