Iraqis demand action as popular archaeological site neglected

At the ziggurat of Dur-Kurigalzu (modern Aqar-Quf),

Here we have a very good example of the nationalist use of the global heritage by Moslems (Adnan Abu Zeed, 'Iraqis demand action as popular archaeological site neglected' Al-Monitor April 15 2017.)

Every year on March 21, Iraqis gather around the ziggurat of Dur-Kurigalzu, the site of an ancient city dating to the 14th century B.C. that is located northwest of Baghdad, to celebrate Nowruz and the first day of spring. Residents from the city's various sects come together to celebrate ancient festivals near structures such as the ziggurat, built by King Kurigalzu, who ruled between 1438 and 1412 B.C. during the Kassites era in Iraq after the fall of the city of Babylon at the hands of the Hittites in 1595 B.C. The [...] monument reminds Iraqis that Iraq has been home to glorious civilizations.

Despite its obvious importance the disorganized ragheads cannot be trusted to look after the site

Despite the city’s historical importance, it has been neglected [...] No one is paying attention to the place and proof is the cracked walls around the ziggurat. Mold caused by humidity has affected up to one meter of the walls, which are now surrounded by thorns and wild plants [....] The ziggurat has never been sufficiently protected [...]  Control over archaeological areas was weakened due to the [recent] security chaos, and smugglers dug around it to steal the precious pieces buried in the sand [...] protecting the ziggurat requires a sufficient budget that has never been provided, so it is unlikely to see any positive change under the current circumstances.[...] People who visit the ziggurat can clearly see how rainwater and salts have caused cracks in the structure, while a lot of debris and trash can be seen all around the ziggurat. [...] In order to develop the ziggurat and turn it into an archaeological site, security must be established.

This situation is not an isolated one:

The ziggurat is only one of dozens of neglected archaeological sites waiting to be converted into archaeological and touristic projects that provide jobs and financial resources for Iraqis, help the economies of the cities where they are located and showcase Iraq's historical heritage to the world.

Obviously there is little point repatriating to such people artifacts seized from collectors  as they clearly lack the resources and will to look after them properly.
