Not my problem.
>>222421794>I didn't steal it, I took it to preserve it!!!A common thief cope
>>222421864Name a single example of Finnish cultural heritage worth preserving.
>>222421908>ad hominemI accept tour concession, robberman.
>>222421794the british only took the good ones, so they are smashing worthless sandstone
>>222421794You could argue this about Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan (even here the standards for museums are shit and Muslims try to deface and destroy old artefacts), I don't see how this extends to stuff like the Elgin marbles though, or the black market for antiquities which can be pretty destructive to historical knowledge.
>>222422109public* historical knowledge
>>222421794The regimes that did this were radical dictatorships that took power by coups backed and planned by CIA thoughbeitSo you steal (nigger behavior) and incite (foid behavior)
Lara Croft did nothing wrong
>>222421948Nobody cares about these things or wants them here. Museums are filled with people like you that vote to import more shit from the third world at whatever cost. Nobody ever asked or wanted a thousand african masks and ukiyo-e paintings etc. that are then touted by the same people who brought them over as an example of why we need more gibs for browns. Being a taxpayer in an empire fucking sucks, you have to fund the adventures and enterprise of a ruling class that hates you and wants you replaced with more easily whipped and managed detritus from some godforsaken far-off land that has nothing to do with your nation.
>>222422109They literally bought the Elgin Marbles from the Ottomans thoughbeit, if someone bought an Ancient Greek statue from Izmir today would you expect they had to return that to Greece?

>>222421908Uhh... they have the... uh...

>>222422200Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the region where St. Paul preached land-marked by the Hagia Sofia, which is now completely tatted up with Islamic graffiti and converted into a mosque?>>222421908Varusteleka >>222422359Oh wow completely useless bullshit that my overlords hoard and stuff away like hamsters and packrats from their adventures and enterprises abroad! This totally improves my life being the nominal possessor of ugly brown shit that I get blamed for being in the same geographical location of and taxed for more gibs to get reparashuns for. >Give them back, thenPeople like you own the museums. Load it up into a catapult, along with yourself, and launch it all back to the shithole it came from, nobody will miss it or care
>>222422130A lot of the time the exact origins of something can be lost or obscured with these things, even if they're eventually recovered you can really only guess. I was thinking more along the lines of thugs pilfering ruins and monuments for anything that isn't nailed down but apparently shit like this can still happen at the British Museum of all places:https://lite.cnn.com/2023/12/13/style/artefacts-british-museum-scrap-gbr-scli-intl/index.html>>222422200I don't know the exact position common among the Greeks on either issue. Just that I get why they'd want them back. As a crude analogy imagine that you were kidnapped by the Sultan of Turkey as a child and he sold off your heirlooms at a time you barely understood what they were, even if the sale was legitimate and the buyer took excellent care of the stuff you'd still want it.
>>222421908There was that tree
>>222421908Deep fried that freak
>>222421794Those were recent regimes supported (at least by westerners) to destabilize the previous regime or the region. Though.Like Bashad Syria, Hussein Irak, or communist Afghanistan didn't destroy their heritage as far as I know, its the fundamentalist rebels supported by the US and NATO.
>>222421794This is the argument of a man that shares groyper memes
>>222421794>British put the money into the operation>British spend days, if not months to recover the artifacts>British spend hours restoring or preserving the artifacts from further degrading>British spend hours documenting the items>British manage transport, storage and workforce to recover the artifactThey put the work in, they deserve the fruits of their work.
>>222422465Why are mexcrements this dumb?
>>222421794idgi why the museum blows up stuff?
>>222422482Tell me where I am wrong
Why are anglo sissies so pathetic?
>>222421908https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu
>>222421794Since the UK is on it's way to become an islamic third world shithole we should move all those artifacts in a safer country to protect them then.
>>222422169>the CIA is responsible for my dick not working

>>222422482manolo can't read
>>222421794surely that means they'll return the greek artifacts to Greece since it's safe, yes?
>>222424531Safer than bri'ish isles for sure
>>222424531only reason they dont is because then they have to give everything back to all the other countries or they look racist
>>222424531Are you trusting those guys to not store gunpowder in Acropolis, again?
>>222421908bodied that freak
>>222422169>CIA made islam
>>222426056So why didn't muslims destroy them the second or a centrury after they took those countries why wait a millenia
