Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
I have mixed feelings about the governments being able to seize found items...
from the article:
The bar owner was not arrested as archaeologists tried to establish whether certain of the antiquities had been declared to authorities, police said.
Under Greek law, all antiquities found in the country are state property. But sometimes individuals are allowed to retain artifacts after registering them with authorities.
