Now savage Islamic State fanatics blow up ANOTHER Syrian temple

ISIS had already blown up the temple of Baalshamin last week.

Experts feared that Bel was next on the list.

The temple was built in 32AD and was a Unesco World Heritage Site.

It was dedicated to gods worshiped by the Semites - a group of different cultures in the Ancient Middle East.

It had beautiful carvings of zodiac signs and the then-known seven planets.

The demolition is the latest in a series of attacks on Syrian and Iraqi heritage sites.

Dr Robert Bewley from Oxford University thinks that Palmyra will be destroyed "monument-by-monument".

He claimed ISIS is destroying the city as part of its propaganda.

He said: "One fear is that ISIS will do piecemeal damage over the coming weeks to keep the publicity machine running, so it will be a slow but equally destructive approach."
