I remember a bunch of Nazi paintings at the Pentagon were returned to Germany. I wish they would have been taken the on a road trip to US museums
If Egypt thinks im going to go to Egypt to look at their artifacts, I won’t.
Stupid. One, they were NOT stolen. Two, the people who were there when the artifacts were found were NOT the people who made those things.
The ancient Egyptians were replaced long ago by Arabs.
Second, that part of the world takes it to the streets and loots the museums every few decades. Those artifacts get smashed and stolen. ISIS did it, the Iraqis did it, the Taliban did it, the Egyptians did it.
It’s stupid to give those things to those irresponsible people.
But I guess if it makes a bunch of angsty white women happy...

Why not return them to Macedonia, home of the last Egyptian rulers, instead of handing them to some stupid Arabs?
