The Islamic extremists are filmed crushing mummies turning the dead bodies to dust with the colossal wheels of a bulldozer.

ISIS shot the documentary style video in May last year when they captured Palmyra in central Syria.

The city is around 4,000-years-old with many of the historical sites dating back to the Roman Empire.

The terror group destroyed much of the town, vandalising and looting its museums.

The extremists decimated historical sites such as the Arch of Triumph, the Temple of Baalshamin and the Bel Temple which was 2,000-years-old.

The warped terror cult believe non-Islamic artefacts are heresy and have no place in their so-called 'caliphate'.

Syrian and Russian troops liberated Palmyra from the violent killers on March 27, 2016.

And while ISIS destroyed most of the city’s precious artefacts, the community’s officials did manage to remove some of the most valuable items and transport them to Damascus before the terrorists invaded.
