I've been to the museum in Cairo. Things are basically stacked wherever they fit.
if they REALLY cared, they'd make more of an effort. They are just trying to flex their muscles

And I have been to the National Museum in Athens. It is nicely laid out. The star attractions of both museums are golden artifacts from tombs. King Tut for the Cairo museum and the Royal tombs at Mycenae (the golden death mask of "Agamenon") in the Athens museum. Essentially these artifacts have been stolen from graves. There is no more respecting of cultural heritage in these museums in the national capitals than anywhere else. I'm sure the locals around the Valley of Kings in Egypt and the archeological site of Mycenae would love to have "their" gold returned to the place where they supposedly rightfully belong.

Take a look at my post #132 and see what you think... If the shoe were on the other foot what side would you be on, I wonder?
