Baloney. Archaeologists getting a monopoly is wrong. They find things, catalogue them and store them away forever.
There is zero reason private collections and excavation is wrong.
This is the same mentality that nobody should go hunting arrowheads.
You don’t send priceless treasures to places where superstitious idiots will deliberately destroy or sell them off.
The do-gooder return the artifacts movement is tragically wrong.

I did not see anyone on FR agreeing with ISIS destroying those old BC era ruins. No one.... can you provide an example of someone here supporting ISIS doing that?

“ISIS destroyed what was left of Pergamon”
I cannot find that ISIS even got there. It’s in Turkey.

Why’d they do that? It’s not Turkish.

Turkey's Manisa region
Should it belong to the Greeks rather than the Turks, who came much later than 530 BC ?

It was stolen from them. How they keep it is up to them.
