Implicit Truths

The Greeks are trying to get back the Parthenon marbles which the British took from the site ages ago, and placed carefully in a museum in their own country. They also refuse to return the parts of the frieze that they have, claiming that three times more people can see them where they are - as part of a collection of world history. This is just plain ridiculous. If the home country is asking for it back, then you must return it, particularly for something as significant as the Parthenon. It also raises the question, “What were British archaeologists doing plucking apart pieces of an obviously significant building?”. When they go to other countries these days and excavate old ruins are they still at it with this funny business of dismantling culturally significant sites to place in museums across the world? Incredibly short-sighted people.
