　　Baghdad’s museums and libraries are almost empty.

　　Thousands of priceless artifacts have been stolen or destroyed by people in Baghdad almost overnight.

　　Since US forces entered the capital and brought about the fall of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the city has suffered from a loss of law and order.

　　The serious situation led archaeologists from all over the world to meet in Paris.

　　They tried to work out how best to save Iraq’s cultural heritage（遗产）. “The Iraqi National Museum is the only museum in the world that shows all the steps in the history of mankind, ”said Damerfji, professor of archaeology at Baghdad University.

　　“These witnesses to our own development have gone, they are gone.

　　Mesopotamia, part of modern-day Iraq, was one of the world’s earliest civilizations.

　　Its Greek name means “between the rivers”.

　　These rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates（底格里斯河与幼发拉底河）, and were home to prehistoric man.

　　On the riverbanks, the Mesopotamians were the first people to study the stars, develop the written word and organize laws.

　　In the ancient city of Babylon（巴比伦）, about 50km south of today’s Baghdad lay one of the seven wonders of the ancient world—the Hanging Gardens.
