BAGHDAD, IRAQ – APRIL 22: Remains of desks and filing cabinets stand in the charred ruins of the Iraqi National Library April 22, 2003 in Baghdad, Iraq. The National Library of Iraq was looted and then burned in the first days after the fall of Baghdad. It is estimated that thousands of historic documents were destroyed during this time, but the exact number and location of many documents remains unknown. Thousands of books that were not destroyed were removed by muslim clerics and secreted to different locations. (Photo by Roger Lemoyne/Getty Images)
