Given the fact that most museum quality artifacts have been stolen or destroyed in IRAQ during or since the war, I don’t quite understand why you would send it back there. Leave it here for a decade or two, until they get straightened out. Then we can give it back to them.
Saye do whaat?
Good point. Especially since it was purchased for a museum.
Yes, it should be a crime.
AND, modern day Iraqis are NOT Sumerians, they’re not Assyrians, or even Babylonians.
They are Muslim Arabs who has their Prophet, Mad Mo, telling them to destroy all idols where ever they find them, including antiquities.
The FBI might as well take the tablets out back and beat them with sledge hammers. Sending them back to Iraq means they’d be as lost.
