Such a horrible idea to send treasures back to third world countries, especially Moslem countries. All it takes is an ISIS, an Egyptian revolution, etc and it all gets destroyed.

“...has repatriated to Turkey a bronze funerary couch...”

They must’ve just found this in NYC Mayor Adams’ basement at Gracie Mansion. ;)

The ancestors of the Turks were an illiterate pack of nomads roaming the Central Asian Steppe when this artifact graced the home of a Greek or Persian speaking merchant or official. It belongs to whoever has been keeping it intact for these past millennia on behalf of all of humanity, and it should stay with them.

“American Museum Repatriates Bronze Couch to 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 ?
