Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
The Temple of Bel in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has been destroyed. The Temple is dedicated to the Palmyrene gods and was one of the best-preserved parts of Palmyra. The United Nations has used satellite imaging to confirm that almost nothing of the temple remains. Palmyra is held by militants from Islamic State who have in the past targeted historical sites, regarding their temples and sculptures as heretical.
