    Fascinating. The level of concerns born from the curious minds which we all have been born with certainty pays off here. Recently I bought some Viking proto-christian medallions and the “seller” from the Ukraine obviously needed to earn a living, but the man’s telling his customers that something nearly 1000 years old can be worn, along with a vinyl cord for dangling. Need I say any more..

    Look y'all, I'm not defending institutions that knowingly and willingly acquired objects under less than ethical means but at least try to look up where the objects in an exhibition like this come from before you accuse the institution of stealing them or tell whoever handles this TH-cam channel to return them. More than one commentor has pointed out that this particular exhibit is a collaboration between the British Museum, a museum in Peru and the Peruvian government. Please keep in mind, not all exhibits or objects on display in a museum are objects from the museum's own permanent collections.

      Why would the British Museum return objects that have been loaned to it?

    • @PRDreams
      @PRDreams 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a loan from Perú. England is well aware that it is borrowed.
      In any case, that answers the question at least partially. The museums can very well borrow from other countries and create exhibitions that are of limited time.
      You also answered with another possibility: that they will have England artifacts to exhibit as a more permanent way to keep the museums going.
      The English Main island has a lot to offer archeologically speaking.

      @@Barefoot_Joe It was bot an ethnic massacre, a forced acculturation and then a mix of bot cultures.
      Incan and Mayan sacrifices where horrible just as so where Spanish conquests and pillaging over the destruction of already troubled empires by the flu and smallpox that they introduced.
      We cannot excuse Hitler's "racial cleansing" because of Stalin's "political opposition cleansing". They're both crap, just like Inca religious sacrifices and Spanish racism and violence because christian religious fanatism or extremely dogmatic beliefs.
