>Be Britain>Steal artifacts from around the worldUnironically why is shit like this in the British museum? Half the surviving sculptures from the Parthenon, dated to the classical Hellenic period, were directly removed to Britain and are now possessed by the British government. How isn't this plunder and defacement of historic sites? The more I think about it the more perverse it is.
Legally purchased at market value is stealing now?
>>533936850Some of it probably was back then but we probably also saved a shit load from being destroyed and if im wrong museums are completely free to go see them.
>>533936850If other countries valued their artifacts so much, why were they>sold>left to rot>givena way to invaders?
>>533936850Reminder that nearly everything in British museums was literal discarded junk that the locals either didn't want or sold to us.Now that we showed other countries how to appreciate their own history they're pissy at us.Picrel: it was literally part of a fucking wall before we showed the Egyptians how it unlocked their own written history
>>533936896>Legally purchased at market value is stealing now?purchased in the final days of Greek Independence as Greeks were closing on Athens, then rushed out. Greeks will have a chance to get it back during the upcoming UK Civil War
>>533937032For me, it was losing entire pyramids and temples to the sand, lmao.
>>533936850>Ignorant mutt doesn't even know the history behind the Elgin marblesImagine my shock
>>533936850Other pic. Greece has demanded the return of these items. Britain has claimed they were "purchased legally" by Thomas Bruce from the Ottomans, then sold to the British government. So basically they're saying it was legal because they claim they cooperated with occupation Muslims to steal shit from Greece.
>>533937075If Greeks loved their culture so much, why did they give up all their land to Turks? :/
>>533937032>>533936989>>533936948The Parthenon was in pristine condition up until a battle took place between Venetians and Ottomans a few centuries ago, a gunpowder storage blew up during the battle.
>Unironically why is shit like this in the British museum?Because they were donated to the museum by private collectors who'd bought them from brownoids who couldn't appreciate them
>>533936850British people are genetically closer to Roman and Greek and Egyptian elite than modern Meds are
>>533937151Somewhere in there is a thank you.
>>533937176Are you saying that we wuz kangs?
we stole that shit niggabitch ass nigga
>>533937094The Parthenon was blown up and vandalised by the Venetians trying to loot the statues about two centuries before the British came along, in that entire time the Greeks left them to there to rot and did not give a single fuck about them, only decades after Elgin came and bought them from the legally recognised government of the time with his own money to display to the British public for free did the Greeks care
>>533937176>>533937165>>533937216>>533937240Modern day Brits are a collection of every tribe from Northern Europe. Reminder that UK only exists today because of UK
>>533936850Because the parthenon got fucking bombed in WW2 and it's still a flashpoint for war with the middle east (athens).The stuff isn't safe where they found it. Fuck other countries. And fuck the UK too they need to move that to a safer country than fucking Londonistan.
Shitskins are just mad that they couldn't smash these artefacts into smaller pieces to bludgeon each other over the head with. It reminds them of their inferiority and stunted development.
>>533936850Cry about it brownoid
>>533937151Yes and the Greeks left them there since that event took place and did not care about them at all until the British cared about them, it's like a child wanting your toy only because you are playing with it not because they want to play with it
>>533937240Yep.
>>533936850been over thisthe turks occupying greece at the time were stripping down greek artifacts and using then as road fillgreeks themselves were tearing stuff down to build hutsbrits bought them from the "legal" authoritiesmuch as a i dislike brit exploitationthey literally saved this shit from destruction and made them available to the public to study and enjoypeople should be thanking them even if they want them back now
>>533936850we put them in a museum and preserve them so the world can rediscover the achievements of their ancestors. filthy continentals and assorted third world types would have destroyed them to make way for a gyros stand, they never cared one bit for their historical significance until we did
>>533937032>Priceless artifacts from other countries historic sites are "discarded junk">The countries demand them backBut these are artifacts represent the cultural legacy of other countries and don't belong to Britain. In fact Britain refuses to repatriate them. The Rosetta stone was some shit they bought from illiterate Bedouin nomads though IIRC. It doesn't make it any less plunder when they can return it to the proper country of origin any time.
>>533937240>Facial reconstruction of Tutankhamun
>>533937341>Yes and the Greeks left them there since that event took placeYou rats twist history like a kike, it really is true that you are Jews. There were no Greeks in Athens until Ottomans were removed dumbass. How could Greeks fix the damage from that battle if they weren't in the city yet
>>533936850>Treat your artifacts like trash, letting them turn to dustSafekeeping cultural heritage for future generations is one of the many burdens of the white man
>>533937392>give them back>they get destroyed by some retards fighting over retarded shit againna they're staying on this shit rock, you can visit them for free
>>533937421>There were no Greeks in Athens under Ottoman occupationYou're a fucking retard, kill yourself
>>533936948Shit is thousands of years old yet somehow YOU preserved it...retard
>>533937357>>533937358Do you retards realize that Greece has the best self-preserved artifacts on Earth? The fucking most pristine Crusader castle on Earth is in Rodos, Greece you niggers. BRITS TORE DOWN THEIR SHIT, Greeks kept all the old stuff intact. All of Greece is full to the brim with medieval architecture mixed with ancient stuff
Modern Essex deanos like to get eyelash perms and tattooed guyliner.Makes sense when you realize they’re just the descendants of Kangz.
>>533937346makes sense why the globalists are trying to race mix them out of existence
>>533937392>But these are artifacts represent the cultural legacy of other countriesThey represent the history of British exploration and archaeology.
>>533937505You sound mad we preserved stones but threw you away to a shitty death island.
>>533937505>is thousands of years old yet somehow YOU preserved itYes. That is exactly what happened. Are you retarded or brown?
>>533937461But the countries of origin demand them back, so why won't you?>>533937249They were removed in 1801. The statues are Greek, so don't they belong in Greece?
>>533937032Now that actually was stolen. But only from some French cunt.
>>533937485>There were no Greeks in Athens under Ottoman occupation>You're a fucking retard, kill yourselfOh wow you stupid fuck, Athens was ABANDONED after Ottoman takeover. There were only 3-5,000 permanent residents of Athens through Ottoman history, you fucking midwit. Most of them were Albanians also. Greeks had fled south, in mountains, and islands
>>533937513>We preserved the Elgin marbles by letting them lay in the dirt since their destruction and attempted looting which further damaged them by the Venetians in 1687
>>533937392>I take your garbage and put it on display>You decide it's a priceless cultural legacy and complain about itThe only reason foreigners think it's "plunder" is that the British made them priceless. They mistake value that we added through curation and scholarship and display for something they could have done themselves. They could not have.The very concept of a museum is British. Third worlders never even had the idea that the past is interesting and valuable and should be preserved. You know what thirdies do with the past? They do like ISIS and take a sledge hammer to it to appease Allah.If you think about it, Britain owns the whole concept of "the past", by way of the museum, and every single artifact in the world belongs to Britain, since we invented the past.
>>533937282Antony Eden was my second cousin's husband. I like to browse /pol/ because it reminds me of the types of conversations my grandfather might have had lol
>>533936850A lot of these “stolen” artifacts were compensation for the infrastructure and investments the British empire made around the existing mud huts. Which was subsequently squandered after the British left from their imperial occupation.
>>533937584because the world doesn't work like that, bet you bought into putins 3 hour tucker carlson speech about how ukraine 6000 years ago used to be russia or some bollocks.
>>533937615>the British made them pricelessWut.
>>533937584The Greeks showed no care for the statutes and they were legally bought to be preserved and admired by people(Brits) who actually did care for them>>533937590>There were no Greeks in Athens>There were this many Greeks in AthensShameless moving of the goalpost, wog faggot
>>533937505Brown moment
>>533937585>Now that actually was stolen.Sure, but if steal a wall stud don't act all mad 200 years later when it turns out it was Excalibur and you were using it as a wall stud.
>>533936850Britain PRESERVED those pieces of garbage. the reason the third world shitholes those "artifacts" originated from don't have any left themselves is because the niggers raped, ate, burned, or just destroyed them all for fun. If not for the British, all that garbage would be gone.
>>533937505Visit Iraq recently retard? A thousands of year old greek temple was blown to dust by ISIS scum, along with lots more such. These fucking savages destroy everything and museums save so much so gtfo with that bullshit. Third world hellholes can't be trusted to take care of their own history.
>>533936850Because when the British found these artefacts they were lying around forgotten or buried under layers and sand. The "true" owners of them had forgotten about them and let them fall into disrepair. Niggers only want their treasures back now because they've seen how well the British have taken care of them and made them valuable.
>>533937608>>533937719You don't know shit about Ottoman Athens. Like I pointed out, Athens had a population of 3-5,000 residents, mostly Albanians, they were their to service a major Ottoman garrison located in Athens. There were almost no Greeks at all in Athens during Ottoman times, they had fled to other areas. Greeks didn't have full access to the Acropolis until after independence. Greece is literally world famous for their excellent preservation of artifacts, meanwhile some methhead from Aussiland thinks he knows anything
>>533937249>the legally recognised government of the timethe... falling ottoman empire. lel what a weasel
Shitskins would have let these artefacts be destroyed in their own countries
>>533936850We take better care of it than they would have.
>>533937892Yes, welcome to the real world, maybe don't lose next time
>>533937615>The very concept of a museum is British. Third worlders never even had the idea that the past is interesting and valuable and should be preservedThe pyramids would look so much nicer if ragheads hadn't stolen their limestone casing over the years leaving the rough stones we see today - they originally were perfectly smooth. Admittedly, England did similar with Hadrians wall over the years and carted off much for building and it was tragic how prehistory like Avebury got shit on by villagers but the modern nation knows better while Arabs are still benighted idiots about culture.
>>533937926>>533937973>We take better care of it than they would have.Greece is going to invade UK with 10,000 troops in the middle of the upcoming UK Civil War and capture them back
>mfw someone says give back the artifacts
>>533936850>do not climbWas that really necessary?
>>533938004Greece can't even afford to send 10 guys to Britain
>>533937973>maybe don't lose* next time*get backstabbed by a British plunderer
>>533937765To the Ottomans it was just a brick and they lost it through conquest. The French refused to surrender whatever garrison it and other artifacts were held in unless the British promised to let them keep their shit, it's here where it was stolen (allegedly)
>>533938132>To the Ottomans it was just a brickabsolute lie. lol i love that you are insisting when you are clueless about history.
>>533938004If you think Greece is so awesome then why don't you live there?
>>533937724that webm is the right on display.
>>533938129why so mad? Doesn't Greece have any statues left? and if you do why are you mad we have some, and if you don't that's why we have them.
>>533938129I like how you wog faggots never ever mention the Venetians and how they blew it up and then furthered damaged it by attempting to loot the statutes, not once do you faggots complain about Italy destroying the Parthenon, as I stated this entire thing is like a child wanting your toy because you're playing with it and as soon as they have it they will lose interest in it because they're just upset that YOU have the toy
>>533938198>was literally being used as a brick when the French found itNot nearly as thick as you however
>>533937719The Greek government has demanded them back. Why shouldn't they be in a Greek museum again? They belong to the Greek people, not British so why are they on display in Britain, only for Brits? So far our reasons are:>We were kings>We legally bought it from bandits and looters>Grave looting is actually called archaeology when we do it
>>533936850If it weren't for museums all this shit would've been stolen/destroyed by shitskins already.
>>533938324It's called "selling things"If you sell a good, the person who buys them owns them, not youBTW you are making an argument for why the Russians could ask you for the return of Alaska
>>533938324>They belong to the Greek peopleNo because the British legally bought them so they belong to the British
>>533938293So basically the Venetians are niggers. Now does this represent everything taken? Because multiple countries are making demands for repatriation of their own cultural history. Of course these items will be safe in their museums.
>>533938369>>533938321>>533938293>>533938280>>533938390Daily Reminder Greece has a better preserved English-made medieval castle than anywhere in UK
>>533938390>Knowingly buying stolen things and refusing to return them is OKIf the goal was to keep them safe, they would be returned at this point.
>>533938412They are only counting them as "cultural history" because of the value the British have added through scholarship and curationIt's therefore only fair to pay the British the value we've added if you seek return subsequently
>>533936850If white people didn't preserve those artefacts they would be long rubble now.
Even just the act of putting these statues onto ships and moving them is too much for shitskins to even comprehend.
>>533938324possession is 9/10 of the law.Brits should honestly just call Greece a failed state and failed states don't get their shit back, but that might just be the pot calling the kettle black.
>>533937421>There were no Greeks in Athens until Ottomans were removed dumbass. How could Greeks fix the damage from that battle if they weren't in the city yet>>533937870>You don't know shit about Ottoman Athens. Like I pointed out, Athens had a population of 3-5,000 residents, mostly Albanians, they were their to service a major Ottoman garrison located in Athens. There were almost no Greeks at all in Athens during Ottoman times, they had fled to other areas. Greeks didn't have full access to the Acropolis until after independence.>Greece is literally world famous for their excellent preservation of artifacts, meanwhile some methhead from Aussiland thinks he knows anythinginterestingthe uk really stole them
If you think about it though it's kind of fucking hilarious that the brits met some savages who had statues that they thought were their gods and the brits took the statues back to britain so other people could laugh at it too
>>533938456I think that's based, Keeping your history spread out across the world means it has more chance of being preserved. What's the saying? Never put all your eggs in one basket
>>533936850Anglos are the only race that care about other cultures' history. The world owes them a huge debt for getting these artifacts out of brown hands.
>>533937505>Shit is thousands of years old yet somehow YOU preserved it...No need to thank us, it's the burden we bear for being white in a world full of people like you. You're welcome.
>>533938412A deal is a deal, you're not entitled to bitch about something that was sold centuries earlier because it doesn't suit you now, I don't see America offering France back the land they sold you under the Louisiana Purchase, or you giving Alaska back to Russia, when you do those two things then you have the right to complain about the Elgin marbles, okay
>>533938481So they wrote about someone else's stuff, so instant value add on irreplaceable and priceless history so therefore Britain should own it.
>>533936896That is, if they return these things, at best the elites of these countries will sell them back to some weirdo.
>>533938412>Of course these items will be safe in their museums.lol
>>533938683go back to huffing paint
Simple: because the official propagated history is 100% fake.There was an advanced civilization 12k years ago that was decimated by the Younger-Dryas event (probably a meteor impact/impacts), that civilization built all of the large stone & brick "Greco-Roman" buildings on the planet, the oligarchy has been systematically destroying their structures for hundreds of years to obscure the fact that the entire global oligarchy are now and have always been grifting faggots squatting on old world structures.
>ITT>thirdies angry we preserved their history and let people view them for freeI honestly don't even understand why they're mad. Imagine putting all your money in 1 wallet then losing that wallet lmao. Spread that shit out.
>>533936850Nobody else gave a shit for several hundred years. Local nations they took it from even had a habit of defacing such things when discovered. The British learned the ancient languages and lore and learned where things were and preserved it. If the artifacts had been left in place mostly they would have been destroyed by now. Whole buildings they kept artifacts from have been destroyed since they left. Be thankful someone gave a shit about documenting and preserving it.
>>533938481>because of the value the British have added through scholarship and curationbrit is so delusional he may as well be claiming the uk invented the Renaissance
>>533938714So all the museums in Greece housing Greek artifacts right now are unsafe? Greeks can't even view their own ancestors sculptures because Britain refuses to return them.
Notice how the Greek faggots still never want to address the fact the Venetians destroyed the Parthenon in the first place and how they never whinge about Italy for doing it, whenever you mention it they just go silent
>>533936850whypipo dun have culture
>>533937151That battle never happened, just a hand wave excuse to mask the destruction project
>>533938769>watches the history channel once
>>533938893>Greeks can't even view their own ancestors sculpturesThey can visit the British Museum at any time, as millions of people do every year. Free admission.
>>533938893>Greeks can't even view their own ancestors sculptures because Britain refuses to return them.The museums here are free.>the greeks already have plenty of statuesthen why be mad we have some, the more that is spread out the more of it is preserved over a longer period.
>>533937724Exactly this, Every Muslim population destroys this stuff on sight the moment there is a discovery. Look up every tomb ever discovered. What the British kept is sometimes all that is left and they paid for it and had approval from local governments on agreement to make display available, which they kept up.
>>533938878You invented nothing you brown slant eyed freak, don't think you can speak to your superiors just because the Yanks let you work on a farm like niggers for a few months.
>>533938893Greeks have a reputation for taking anything not nailed down at weddings, so yes they're safer in tea sucking hands
>>533939010They can also view it online thanks to Anglos, both for preserving them and for inventing the world wide web which they use to seethe about it
>>533939019>Just fly to Britain and then you can view your heritageThis sounds very Jewish, anon. Another reason we have so far is:>No other country has safe museums, only Britain
>>533939173See >>533939127
>>533939173Not a single thirdie in this thread has recognised my question of why wouldn't you want your history spread out across the globe to better preserve it?
>>533937724Literally financed by the CIA for the express and sole purpose of destroying history
>>533936850To the victor go the spoils.
>>533939173>view your heritagereminder that the only reason thirdies think their discarded garbage or sold trinkets are "their heritage" is british museum curation in the first place.these people didn't give a damn about their own history and arguably still don't, they just don't like the british getting izzat from their shit.
anyway i would like to remind you that europeans used to eat egyptian mummies. mummia was calledpreserving shit my ass. it's all religious zealotry and supertitions
>>533937392Fuck off retard. You are just anti-White communist scum.
>>533937724ISIS was created by the US and Israel so saying the UK had no involvement is absurd. The UK was involved in bombing Libya, which was part of the same Arab Spring movement ISIS is related too, at the same time. Fucking Israel also fuck Muslims.
>>533939040we invented bathing which is something you and your beloved pajeets never did and still refuse to usego molest the EU with your putrid smell. shoo shoo
>>533939367You still eat people you brown savage.
>ITT>THIRDIES CAN'T ANSWER WHY YOU WOULDN'T WANT YOUR HISTORY SPREAD OVER THE GLOBE SO IT HAS MORE OF A CHANCE OF BEING PRESERVED OVER A LONGER PERIOD
>>533939004>willfully blind>kangarooniggerChecks out
>>533936850If it weren't for the Brits, most of this stuff would've been lost to barbarians and conflicts worldwide. Imagine if ISIS in 2015 had access to all the artifacts the Brits took out of the Middle East. I'm tired of reading these stories all my life.>They're exploiting this and that!>They're stealing that and this!Whether its oil, diamonds, coal, you name it. All of it was fucking useless in the ground until European super-powers shared the tech with the rest of the world after fighting two World Wars, after which a former European colony turned the world into a global greed race.
>>533939493Yes you invented bathing, of course you did. Nobody else in the history of mankind ever bathed. It's quite funny because I've heard multiple races claim they invented bathing and they're all sweaty, smelly subhumans like yourself Juan. You act as if Mexicans aren't short, fat, sweaty and smelly subhumans; I've been to Mexico.
>>533936850Turns out when you're the boss you make the rules. >Sorry to be the first to inform you.To be fair, the british museaum is among the most distinguished in the world and has first rate preservation and education as its goals. They're not sitting in some gangster's home, they are a testament to the world.
>>533936850Look man, it's like the Falklands to them. It's one of the very last vestiges of their former glory. They are insanely anal about defending it.
>>533939504sure, anon. we are the ones doing the spirit cooking shit. hahahago and abort yourself, brit. you cook so bad you need to use dead human cells for flavor stuff
>>533939662Enjoy your rice and fried bread, overdosing with spices to cover up the smell of your decaying aunties leg meat. Savage. Every positive thing in your miserable existence is thanks to some Englishman. You should be grateful and thanking your superiors for providing you with a good life.

>>533939735Someone saved a picture of the place preserving it in time because you can't put a place in a museum. Try again nigger.
>>533939819I'm as English as they come. Born and bred, can trace my local lineage to the late 1700s. Yorkshire is my home and forever will be. We are flooded with subhumans and that is our punishment for former greatness. The difference is that you are the brown, smelly subhuman invasive species in the once great United States whereas I am the victim of the endless swarm.
>>533939462The point stands. The stuff was collected long before ISIS.Modern Egyptians didn't even know or care what was there - when the Brits found the tombs they were in a state of disarray from looting.
>>533939908>I'm as English as they comeand they come from india now
>>533936850It belongs in a museum
>>533939917>Modern Egyptians didn't even know or care what was there!!! Egypt has no Egyptologists or museums? How are they preserving the Pyramids as a site anyone can go in and view then? Also wasn't Britain allied with the Ottomans too? They were the ones who were storing ammunition in the Parthenon.
>>533937584>The statues are Greek, so don't they belong in Greece?ancient greece no longer exists
>>533937513Have you ever been outside of muttmerica... They definitely are not well preserved. You sound like some retard who got his history info from YouTube
>>533936850>Unironically why is shit like this in the British museum?You are confused because you think these items were stolen. This is because you think the British "invaded" functional nations that were fully aware of and actively preserving their heritage. >In short, you are uneducated. The British took these items from the old front lines of the world to preserve them. They would have been destroyed otherwise (see Egyptian relics being destroyed by ISIS). Most of these countries were completely unaware of their heritage and their past and the British uncovered it and shared it with the savages that lived in the ruins of these past civilisations. Even today these brownoid nations continually threaten to collapse back into barbarity the second whiteys hand are off the reigns. So these items should remain in UK to preserve our shared human past.
>>533940165Obviously post-colonial Egypt has Western style museums and Antiquities Curators. But only because the Brits taught them how to give a fuck.Calling it "plunder" is so tiresome.
>>533936850Why even beg for this crap back? Oh so you can sell it to someone for millions? When the art market is at its worst condition ever? Good luck. At least humanity can enjoy this stuff rather than some broke thirdie who sells to Jeff Bezos or sticks it in some hut.
>>533936850>StealThey dug this shit out of the ground because the locals didn't even give a fuck it exisited. If it wasn't for the british this shit would be lost to history. The external cover of the pyramids was ripped of and used to build a fucking mosque. The locals only started giving a fuck when they realized there was a grift to it. Fuck them.
>>533937151and they never bothered to put it back together.
>>533940165>Egypt has no Egyptologists or museums?In the 1800s? No. The French under Napoleon were the first to properly survey and document the pyramids and monuments. It was a Frenchman that deciphered hieroglyphics in 1822. In 1922 British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's tomb.So no, the Egyptians absolutely were not looking after their history at all.
>>533939735If only, most of those structures were just plaster and temporary for the world's fair. Some were permanent like the Museum of Science and Industry, which is beautiful. I thought the Field Museum was part of it but I had to check, it was built later. >t. been to both
>>533940165>Also wasn't Britain allied with the Ottomans too? They were the ones who were storing ammunition in the Parthenon.No. All we had with them when the Parthenon was partially destroyed in the 1680s were trade agreements, and we backed the Hellenes in the 1820s war
>>533937392Naw, if they give them back they will be destroyed in short order. Niggers are everywhere.
>>533937615This attitude is why you fully deserve Londong being 35% White. Good riddance
>>533937032Nigel you literally stole it from France!And they are the one who decoded it.It was found by Napoleon soldiers and decoded by Jean-François Champollion, you lying chav.
>>533940718>i-it was jus paper mache!Delusional.>>533939847>n-no you don't understand, they NEEDED to dynamite 20000 years old structures from literally Atlantis because they wouldn't fix in a museum, ok?!?Bongcucks are another level of slavemind
>>533936850When Lord Elgin, a Hellenophile, visited Athens he was horrified to find the ancient parts of the city completely neglected, with only a handful of scholars showing any interest in their heritage. Ordinary Greeks would steal stone from the acropolis and use it to build walls or grind it up for aggregate. Elgin begged the Ottoman authorities in the city to take better care of the site, but they had no interest in it. So, having originally only intended to make replicas of the marbles, he applied directly to the government in Istanbul for permission to remove some of them. The work took months. The people of Athens didn't object; there were no protests or riots. Most of them didn't even notice. Elgin employed hundreds of Greeks as manual labour and none of them had a problem with the work. The acropolis was the site of heavy fighting during the Greek war for independence. Elgin saved perhaps the most important piece of Greece's incredible heritage at a time when the Greeks themselves didn't give a shit about it, and he went bankrupt doing it.Today the Greeks call him a thief. And they call the British Museum and the British people in general thieves for keeping the marbles safe for the past two centuries. Fuck the Greeks. Ordinarily in a situation like this I would be the first to say there should be some kind of sharing arrangement where the marbles spend some of their time on tour, some of their time at the British museum, and some of their time in situ at the Parthenon, but fuck them. If they want to insult us for protecting their history when they couldn't be bothered to, they get nothing. >>533937701There was no concept that antiquities were valuable prior to the 19th century. Most of the "treasures" in the British museum were the Egyptian/Greek/Iraqi/etc equivalent of the junk you try to get rid of with a yard sale before then. It was only the interest of British (and other European) collectors that created a market for them.
>>533936850>Be Britain>Steal artifacts from around the worldmeanwhile in reality, 90% of the treasures looted during the Boxer Rebellion are in New England.
>>533936850The swarthy savages would have probably broken it all down for building materials if the English hadn't preserved it.
>>533940840And the museums in London will be safer then, right?
>>533939642>Look man, it's like the Falklands to them. It's one of the very last vestiges of their former glory. They are insanely anal about defending it.the uk quite literally could not sail an armed, flight ready carrier to argentina now if the actual crown depended on iteven if they could>pic relatedtheir jets dont even have missiles
>>533939735>>533941244That's the White City of the Chicago 1893 Worlds Fair, it's literally just plaster over a wooden frame. Of all the pre-modernist American architecture you could have picked to make your point, you picked the façade that was never built to last in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staff_(building_material)Fun fact: King Camp Gillette, founder of the Gillette razor company, wanted to build a white city out of permanent materials that would have been large enough to house the entire US population of the time. It would have been built at Niagara Falls so it could be powered by hydro power, and the rest of the US would have been either agricultural land or a vast national park.
>>533936850I guess you're too young to remember ISIS and the Arab Spring and Notre Dame being torched. Only the Brits can protect the artifacts. Except that tree that sandnigger cut down (because it wasn't in the museum)
>>533936850They are Anglos, a piracy race.That's why the kikes chose them to be their rough necks.
Shitskins can't be trusted with antiquities
>>533936850if these countries thank england for their stewardship of these artifacts for the last 200 years, and admit they were retarded brown thirdies who left them to rot until the brits rediscovered them, AND give the brits some governance rights over the sites in question, then yes you might have a chance at getting them back. it would be really cool to see these statues in their proper locations.of course that's never going to happen though, is it?
hey remember when the russians were going to kick the turkroaches out of constantinople so it could be reclaimed as greek clay but the eternal anglo fought a war to stop them? remember when the anglos promised to restore greek land after ww2 but then bailed on them because they decided they couldn't give up their national pastime of sucking muslim cock?
>>533937075not if the salafists destroy them first like they did to all the ancient sculptures in the Levant.
>>533936850We have seen historical buildings destroyed and artifacts stolen a lot. Look at what the taliban has done. Shit look at what Israel is doing. >if it wasn't for white people historical artifacts would have been destroyed
>>533936850Nobody else could pass the traps
>>533936850Some Greek locals used to burn marble to make quicklime, this includes statues. So I'd rather see them in a British museum.
>>533943830>trapsThat's probably the first time in years that that word has been used on this board not referencing trannies.
>>533936850Local cuckstians destroyed it because muh idolatry stfu
>>533936850Would play doubles advocate and say these things are safer under the auspices of the Europeans where they won't be looted and destroyed due to political instability.
>>533937584Why dont you americans gice the land back to the natives. Wasnt that your biggest theft as anglos?
>>533942065Those were British projects, lol
>>533936850Because anglos are jews, they divide and steal everywhere they go and then construct a false narrative of lies and deception to hide the fact they stole shit
>>533946839How is anglo defined? Half of smerica is latinoYou brown niggers are not anglos.
>>533936850Because turdies would destroy it in the name of the moon god.
I'm sure the Brits will sell it back to Greece as long as Greece isn't in debt.
