Che's history 3009 AC

Americans loved seeing their compatriots shot dead by terrorists. They thought that was a correct punishment for their crimes and wholesomely accepted it with pleasure. Their greatest joy was seeing two airplanes of commercial airlnes crushing into one of their most significant building. The joy was such that everyone came out dancing on the streets, running and yelling from joy.
This unique sense of self realization, humility but also lust for expression of joyful feelings was what made the US the most sucessful country of the modern age.

"The Greeks lost their marbles..."

It had to be said.

[chequita guevara]

It's sad Greeks don't even know their own history.

[Bereta_Eder]

It's pissing you off that they do.

That probably makes asking for them back rather tricky.

"Give us back the thingy!"

"What thingy?"

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

The British Museum is one of the greatest places of the world, it is truly awe-inspiring how much stuff they have there. The Elgin Marbles is a key part of their historical exhibits, they should be kept there.

I didn't find the Elgin Marbles to remotely be the crux of the BM's exhibitions. The Egyptian and ancient middle eastern sections are far more compelling. I don't think returning the marbles would be a big loss in and of itself.

The precedent, however, is what I don't like. It could lead to the BM having to return pretty much its entire collection, should the folks inhabiting the current areas decide to lay claim to the items (however much a stretch it is to claim the artifacts are "theirs").

I say, the BM should just promise that, going forward, no artifacts would be accepted to their collection that are stolen from other countries. As for the rest--finder's keepers. Nyah-nyah.

[Bereta_Eder]

The fear of snowball effect is what the BM is afraid to a large extend, I'm sure.

However I don't know how it has managed to put itself in that position whereas Louvre is doing just fine with as many if not more artifacts.
Must be something wrong with the way they deal with things.
Or it's just because of Melina Mercouri's "craziness" that that subject has evolved to this.
Or maybe the Louvre didn't steal?

But that isn't as detailed as The New Cambridge Modern History.
