Ma'amoun Abdul-karim is the Director of Antiquities in Syria. From Palmyra to Damascus, he describes the "most difficult job in the world - the struggle to protect the country's world class archaeological sites and artefacts from militants and looters. A number of objects have been rescued and placed in safe-houses around Syria - but ancient cities like Palmyra, which have been taken over by Islamic State, are now too dangerous to reach.
