The thefts and the failure to investigate them stem from a culture of imperial entitlement.
A committee of international scholars should create a catalogue of restitution. The Parthenon Marbles are the most famous case but the issue is not limited to them.

"Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake 'em / I ain't got none, but I'm planning on growing some / Imagine all the Hebrews going dumb / Dancing on top of chariots and turning tight ones"
- E-40, "Tell Me When To Go" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GZbaXdK8Js
I saw this exhibit at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, read the description, and suddenly realised...the ancient Greeks were *ghostriding the chariots*!

The Vatican returned three fragments of the Parthenon temple kept for centuries in what Pope Francis has called a gesture of friendship.
Greece welcomed the return of ancient artifacts from the Acropolis in Athens after the three pieces were taken more than 200 years ago.
It comes as Greece continues its bid to recover remains from the British Museum.

UK Governments, of all shades, have up to present decided not to return them!
Come on Rishi, do one thing right and return the #Parthenon marbles!

Let them finally be free and represent the freedom they were created for.
In the country that created them and fought this war for freedom for all those who came after.
