He crushed the statue of a pagan god, and knocked off the head of the statue of Athena. They intend to return them.

A tourist has been put behind bars for vandalizing ancient statues. However, his lawyer refers to delusional syndrome. Associated Press reports.

At the Israel Museum, an American toppled two 2nd century AD Roman statues.

Law enforcement officials called him a “radical.”

They speculated that the tourist smashed the statues because he considered them “idolatrous and contrary to the Torah.”

The American lawyer says that the tourist has a mental illness – Jerusalem syndrome (a delusional state caused by the religious magnetism of the city. Tourists begin to believe that they are religious figures. The syndrome can occur in those representatives of different religions. – Ed. ).

In this regard, the detainee will undergo a psychiatric examination.

“This case of destruction of cultural property is shocking. We observe with concern the fact that cultural property is being destroyed by religiously motivated extremists,” said Israel Antiquities Authority director Eli Escusido.

Let’s remember that last year on Easter Island the sacred statues were destroyed by fire.
