It's possible to find both brutal murder and wanton destruction of ancient artifacts to be terrible.

Agreed. The loss of these priceless artifacts is just the latest new insanity by these barbarians.

Sure, if your priorities are fucked up.

Of course, seems an odd stance for you. Humans are going to die at some point and in that part of the world, sooner rather than later. Those ancient objects don't really have the same limited life expectancy...until now.

If destroying the entire intellectual and cultural heritage of the human race enabled one person to live one more day, only a monster would refuse.

What do you value a bunch of old things over human life?

Over one day of an average human life? I don't know why that wouldn't be self explanatory.

I wish I would not have to make that choice but, in the end, if we scrap all our cultural and intellectual patrimony and what remains of the humanity is the fact we breathe, eat, shit and breed, what's the point to the existence?

Only by modern society's standards.  There are plenty of historical societies that also weighed property more highly than human life.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

There are plenty people now who value property more then human life.

"I don't care if the new system will save lives, I'm Taxed Enough Already!"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
