What if its country of origin hasn't existed for centuries? 'Specially since that's the idol from the Meso-American temple from Raiders.

Somewhere someone is laughing in British, not sure where though cuz American education does not cover geography.

The Ark did NOT belong in a museum. It literally made heads explode. Someone, someday, would open it in public accidentally or on purpose.

It belongs in the culture that originated it if possible. Countries are new and often drawn by the British empire.

Hate Western countries all you want but they're better equipped to protect these things.

He’s definitely not saying “that belongs in a museum”

Oh shit, you right. I stole the gif from Imgur—they used a totally wrong part of the video

Elgin turning over in his grave - LOL.
TheFeralDog
Not necessarily foreign museums lead to people taking an interest in that area and increased tourism. Which can support these areas better.

Did you know Viggo Mortensen broke his foot kicking the helmet in this scene

And the sword almost flew on his face too

Ahhh yes, the era of killing brown people on screen for a laugh. I loved and still love these films, but by god are they racist.

The Germans had a voice in these films, brown people did not.

I read somewhere that Ford was struggling with a rotten cold & the gun part was improvised as he wanted to get through that scene quickly.
Merky600
Spielberg did get sick like everyone else ‘cause he shipped over huge crate of canned food. Dinty Moore & Spaghetti-Os for the win.
wookietiddy
I heard it was diarrhea but yeah.
FelixG
I read somewhere it was diarrhea, and he didn't wanna do the fight scene cause he might shit himself.
JonatasAM
O This reminded me of how I go around the globe recovering artifacts in Civ V. Forget nukes, I'd go to war over them. Give my precious to me
DukeDarkwood
You just made me want to try a C6 game where I try to win a cultural victory with the power of archaeology. I expect it to go disastrously.
nowinsituation
I've travelled the world, and most "countries of origin" have museums rife with theft and corruption- so yeah, the British Museum, please.
Nexus159
Did you see how bad we raped Africa? Can't believe it. Anyway, not safe for anything there now, just strip it all.
balmainjack
Why is that the British Museums decision to make? They have literal human remains they refuse to return to Indigenous Australians.
MrTheSpoon
Theft and corruption. Yeah fortunately the British museum got their exhibits without any of that.......
nowinsituation
(there have been improvements recently in some places- usually funded by Western organizations and museums)
arunpk
So condescending
TheWarHymn
The same museum that left 400 year old Ming fine china in an open display that subsequently got smashed by some dumb kids?

crashmat
We're looking after their stuff until they've grown up enough to have their antiquities back.
SevenSsssss
It'd be nice if we had a setup like zoos do with Pandas - country of origin owns them and can call them back any time, but for a fee we can
Karrtis
You do know that many museums loan, and traveling exhibits are a thing yes? They'll also trade if need be.
FelixG
You could have used like the King Tut exhibit as an example, it travels to different museums but belongs to Egypt.
Markuspsyches
And with his own passport too Occupation: King (deceased)
SevenSsssss
display them in non-countries of origin so that people in that country can have exposure to other cultures
miniaturegiraffeplease
100% agree & instead of money foreign museums pay by building them modern museums. So important for people to see their own history & art.
TheBeyonder3191
And the country of origin makes money? Sounds like everyone wins
InDubiousBattle
Agreed. Payment is the key word here. Gotta quit the imperialistic "your shit is mine" nonsense.

I got distracted mid-comment but hopefully y'all can parse out what I meant

Oh shut the fuck up with your racist whataboutism. Haven't people learned anything from their recent brush with white supremacist facism?
Hasaan
They should obviously be returned now, but lets not act like it was a given they would have survived if not taken.
Satannista
Exactly - not every country has a culture of preservation in the form of museums. Museums are not a hallmark of civility or modern thinking

Bud you’re replying to the wrong comment, I’m literally pointing out that museums are not a universal value of countries.

*70 years, not decades. Or 7 decades.

magine if all the stuff in Syria had been safely stored in the British archives.. I mean Museum. Also there is no Evelyn there to destroy it

I wouldn't trust saddam to look after the stuff either, plus he'd probably go back to his old ethnic cleansing ways if let alone. 1/2
Hasaan
Nato shouldn't have invaded (especially since their reasons were bullshit) but the old iraqi regime wasn't innocent either.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
NATO didn't invade. The US and UK did, against UN advice and under violation of international law. NATO had nothing to do with this.
Hasaan
Lol he blocked me. Bold of him to blame a brown guy of being a white supremacist that hates brown folks, though.
Hasaan
On a related note:

It wasn't Saddam who destroyed ancient Babylon. It was Bush's christian crusade. Those roads and the gate had survived countless conquests …
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
by the Macedonians, Persians etc. unscathed until the US army rolled in. And you're still looking to blame brown people. Shame on you.
