When average folk steal stuff, they’re “thieves,” but when well-to-do folks steal stuff, it’s “archeology.”

I want so badly for someone to steal shit from the British Museum only to give it to its country of origin. Like oh yeah we found the Benin Bronzes but they gave them back to Nigeria. What are they gonna do loot them again?

The vast majority of the recovered items have come from Danish gemstone dealer Dr Ittai Gradel, who first alerted the museum to the thefts in 2021.

Is it me or does it make it sound like they have so much shit they didn’t even realize they were gone?

Side note though, those look beautiful.

yeah. They aren’t “displaying them for everyone around the world” they’re hoarding them in basements and taking them out every once in a while.
