| yesterday | comment | added | suchiuomizu | But they were not at the time. Maybe they SHOULD be returned, but I doubt there is any sort of international law that would pressure them to do so. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Whiter Fox | The issue arises from the fact that if Greece was a sovereign country in 1810,they would never allow Elgin to get those marbles into England.And as you said since it is part of the Hellenistic culture ,shouldn't they be returned to Greece? | |
