Frankly, if I were Greece, I'd turn down any conditions also. The Marbles are not Britains to give, with or without conditions. They belong to Greece, rightfully, and should be returned unconditionally, no matter how much fun it is to tease Greeks.

They belong to humanity.

So do your twelve bathrooms, but I don't see you sharing those.

They belong to a civilization that died out 2000 years ago and who don't exist anymore.

The Brits rescued them from certain destruction. They deserve them more.

What school did you go to again?

Are you aware how much was detroyed or hacked into pieces in order to "rescue" all that stuff that now lies in European museums?

Anyway, the point is moot. Cultural artifacts should be returned to where they came from.

That probably makes asking for them back rather tricky.

"Give us back the thingy!"

"What thingy?"

".........ummmm......I can't tell you."

The objects are well known. Some of them are central to aboriginal ceremonies and creation beliefs and thousands of years old. Putting them under glass in museums is rather like stealing someone's identity or soul.
