As we all know artifacts of ancient civilizations have either been robbed from their country or were just found and kept. An example of this is the Rosita Stone which is the Ancient Egyptians , however during WWII Britain while in Egypt found it and so they kept it to themselves and to this day it is in British museum. So do you think that ancient artifacts should be given back to their original countries?

I think that if the country that has the artifact got it by invasion or from protecting the country yes but if they found it because some one thousands of years ago stole it I think its a world history artifact and the country holding the item has the choice to return it

It's not world history. It's the country's history. It's like plaigerism(I know I spelled that wrong).

I agree with flame it is the country's history not the world.

O.k. what if a country splits like the U.S.S.R. and things from the royal family are stolen (witch happend) do u think that the Chec republic should give items back if they found them its there history too. and if India found some English artifacts should they give them back they were under English rule for about 300 years i would say that too is there history and in a sense all history is world history. I could rant all day about world history i think I may make that a section of the forums



And why not let other cultures admire other cultures achivements (my spelling stinks sorry)

Well all ancient civiliztion countries were never split. The four are Egypt,Meoptamia(Iraq),India and China.

If other cultures want to admire they can go to the country itself and then admire, just like tourists.

Rant and argue all you want here this is the debate forum after all.

I thought mongolia was part of China at one point

Yes but mongolia wasn't a part of ancient China

Here's one thing. Egypt is wealthy mainly because of tourists. If more tourists came, then maybe we could stop all the pollution there

Yes and if the:

Rosseta stone, which is in England
The Six needles of Nefertiti, which is in England,France,and America

Got returned to Egypt more tourists might go to Egypt.

What about artifacts of Ancient Egypt and Iraq Egypt and Iraq never split.

Well like i said it depends on the artifact.

PS: iraq has split Kawait was part of meoptamia

Thing's are inportant for all of us to know. If we give the artifats back it culd case the word to seperate from each other and may even lead to haterid of other's. This might lead to a world war 3

Well if all of a sudden people around the world became so caring for other ures and civilizations. Why cant they give them back their artifacts and then they could go to the country as tourists?

Because most of the world is poor. People can't pay for a trip to anywhere.

They could read about the artifacts in books. It is just wrong to STEAL artifacts from a country's civilization.

well it really depends if it very important if its not a huge super important artifact it should be finders keepers losers weepers

all artifacts are important if they weren't they would be called "old stuff"
btw DONT BUMP TOPICS!

i think that they should be held on to for a little bit to be examined and learn more about somthing first then return them to its original place

Well the Rosseta stone for example belonged to the Ancient Egyptians, and it has been learned from and everything but England doesnt want to give it back.

someone like an animal liberator could come in but as an artifact liberator could come in and "liberate" the artifact and send it to _________
