Here all are talking about Ghori but not about the Chori

I guess Ghori started the chori... so people talk about Ghori....

Those were regional wars in which alliances were made during that era. People are so much after Ghori that they dont want to see about the Chori.

Historic idol - The Hindu


A panchaloha idol of Srimedha Dakshina Murthy Swamy was allegedly stolen from a temple in the historic Venkatagiri town in Nellore district here on Saturday morning.

The idol was weighing nearly 95 kg with a high estimated value in the international market. It was stolen from the Kasi Viswanath Swamy temple in the town. The Venkatagiri rulers were stated to have got the idol made about 300 years ago.

Sources said the miscreants might have entered the temple in the early hours through the backdoor and escaped with the idol. Upon seeing the doors of the temple unlocked and something wrong happened, the temple priest informed the Venkatagiri Rajah’s descendant Saikrishna Yachendra.

those raiders were ISIS of that century......

These whole bunch is ISIS.

Wake-up from Sickular Sleep before everything is lost.

Another ISIS, another era, same targets.

This is a good symbol of people coming to terms with their past. Are they going on a rampage to avenge this? No. Truth is necessary and in the long run - harmless.

• The attack, near Mosul, took place last month, but a seven-minute video of destruction has now emerged
• It shows militants hacking and drilling away at 3,000-year-old relics and blowing up the ancient ruins

In the slickly produced seven minute footage, jihadists are shown smashing shrines and statues in the 2,000-year old city.

Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud dating back to the 13th century B.C.

.....

Three different dating has been given.

Nimrod was the King , some what during the Period of Prophet Ibrahim and according to rough calculation , Prophet Ibrahim era was around 4,500 - 5,000 years ago.
