>Preserves your own history in their wonderful museums for all to see because your own people are too backward and unenlightened to do it themselves.
>>219295266I like the part where your history inevitably connects to them and the British crown has connections to everything from ancient pharaohs, Phoenicians, and even direct bloodline connections to Muhammad. Truly a people of the world.
>>219295266Sounds like something someone who were taking cultural artifacts from all over the world and transporting them back to their homeland would say. Nevertheless, it's good that it happened. It's more convenient to see many things in one place than to diversify your travel destinations :D

>>219295855It's a pity they couldn't save the Library of Alexandria...
What's the point of preserving the icons of savages? History self corrects.If a people is bound to destroy their iconsMaybe they don't deserve to have any regardless
>>219295997It's still admirable that they found some elements of cultures of the people they conquered worthy of preservation. Anglos truly are angels among men.
>>219295829It's very likely stuff like the Partehnon Marbles would not exist today if the British had not preserved them. The Greeks, Egyptians etc didn't give a fuck about the ancient ruins around them until fairly recently when they realised they could make money off them.
