If the British Museum had returned the Rossetta Stone to Egypt before the ‘Arab Spring’ today it would be bedrock beneath the Cairo-Capetown Highway.
Keep the Marbles in Britain.

I guess that “m” in the first name is maybe a double “n”?

What is Anal Clooney and why do we care what it says?

So Greece lost their marbles; explains a lot.

I angered my Greek archeological guide on the Acropolis in Athens when I told her that not only was I glad Lord Elgin took the marbles to Britain but that I wish he had also taken the Venus di Milo before she lost her arms and the Victory of Samothrace befor she lost her arms and her head.
That didn't go over well with the guide.

Elgin always claimed he had written “permission” to strip the Parthenon — no one can produce a such a document. And even if it existed, is it okay for the Turkish sultan who was in charge after the Ottomans conquered Greece to give away the artistic treasure of the Greeks? I don’t think so.
Even if you accept the argument that Elgin saved them from neglect and decay, Britain should now return the sculptures. And they should be restored to the temple frieze.

Hooray for Elgin, I say.
Britain should keep them.
