I would imagine that the penises were removed for 'propriety' reasons at some point. If you had asked a member of staff they probably could have told you. Your enthusiasm for talking about that to a number of people does come across as a little inappropriate - I would have been fine talking about it with you, but if I had known that you were going round talking to several people about it I would have found that more than a little odd.
I am totally with you on the robbery issue. I was in the British Museum a few months ago with some Mexicans, and I sat around a lot fuming while they looked at everything. I mentioned it a couple of times but I didn't want to ;about the point and ruin their day - they were only in London for 2 days. The Greeks have wanted the Elgin Marbles back for a very long time - I don't suppose they are trying too hard at the moment!
You do make a number of faux pas in the interraction with the Dutch girls - who look at LEAST 18. Maybe a couple of years later you are a little more aware of why young women are suspicious of any kind of attention from men - they may not have been the most nubile attractive Lolita's - believe me, it is NOT just those girls who get the sleazebags attention. To them you are just another man who could start sexualising the conversation (just as well you didn't get to the penis question!
There was no reason for her to be like that, I dont think she liked him from the beginning... maybe clash of personalities... She just wanted him to leave, to effectively call him a P was out of order on her part. Which is a shame.
@kristonren Of course there wasn't - particularly as she is NOT a child! But I think that a lot of men under-estimate how they come across sometimes - they may not see it as at all inappropriate, but when you are a young woman and this happens a lot and some of the men ARE inappropriate then I can see why they may be suspicious of all men. I was like that at their age because by that point I had had YEARS of creepy blokes coming up to me starting conversations for reasons less than 'wholesome'!
@temarinosuna You are never alone on this planet.. there is life everywhere, under rocks and stones.. or between a piece of wood.. oh wait .. i am quoting the bible, shit dam me to hell
Hi there, how are you? Where are you from? Where have all the penises gone?... Dude tip for future teenage girls dont usualy talk about penises infront of strangers if a bloke came up to you and said what you said youd probably get pissed at him duh!
@AmericanReject2012 Interesting that you don't mention the thousands of foreign artifacts held in museums in the USA. I take it they're 'stolen' too? And while you're disparaging colonialism, let's not forget the fate of the Native American in the hands of your past governments - I think it's called genocide, isn't it? Stop staring at male genitalia (or the lack of it) and try getting yourself an education.
@mseaborne Of course American museums are full of stolen goods too. Interesting that you think that just because I am American that i have no conscious for the crimes that were done to the Native Americans.. We are the worlds worst rapists. Why did you watch my video anyway?
using your charm to scare off young girls? the idea of this masochistic wish to be perceived as a pedophile is actually more frightening than the thought of you actually being a pedophile. thank god this is only a video. mr. reject its my honour to be a subscriber of your youtube channel!
@AmericanReject2012 prison state home boy. something i dont like to bring up , but i came from a heritage of freemasons. they steal penis's and use them for rituals.
i dont think i agree with countries claiming artwork because it was made there.. artistic works are just objects made by individuals..when does it become the property of a nation? and if previously stolen artwork should, in fact, be returned to a nation, why shouldnt previously stolen land be returned, and if previously stolen land is returned, who should it be returned to, and to what point in time should the ownership be transferred, and who owns anything really...oh nevermind!
Ray, I know for a FACT why the penises were removed. Most of those pieces were taken by explorers back in a time when it might have been seen as lewd or unchristian to have penises hanging out everywhere.
To avoid offending people coming to the museum, they would actually remove them. In some paintings they also painted over them, or covered them up. It's sort of a shame that they defaced so many pieces of art like that.
I love the British Museum. My favourite one in the UK, I used to go sometimes after school.
For what it's worth, I thinks it's possible that the penises were removed to try and humiliate the statue and the Greeks - for the same reason the Persians and Muslims knocked the nose off statues, it was considered a symbol of the power of the figure and doing so made it less important (if you get me).
You have to come off the Alluminati thing man. Even if they are controlling the world, there's not much you can do about it. So, just enjoy the ignorance until you kick it. Because every time you mention it to people they're going to write you off as insane just about as soon as the word "Alluminati" exits your lips.
you know people wouldn't think you were a pedophile as often if you didn't look like a stereotypical pedophile. im telling you the glasses and 'stache have to go. you might not scare the little girls as much.
no im not talking about sheep im talking about young girls. the sheep wouldnt be afraid of you because you don't look like a toothless hillbilly. but you do look a little bit like a pedo.
sorry to insult..but ur brother may have deserved a 'defacing' though our works of art certainly didnt! I wish people would be more involved, those women from the netherlands reflect the attitude: I dont give a damn, keep away from me, you caring freak. *Sighs*
Noboby seems to know? I do. As part of England showing its dominance over Europe and the whole world in centuries past, they took over these places and took proof back to their country. (No offence to brittish ppl but this is true) Im Greek and i know how disturbed our culture is for not having our statues where they belong. They have been defaced by people long gone, now there's no one to answer for this crime. The best thing would be to have them back, but the statues mean money, they wont be.
@BitingOsprey .. fuck you. I am entitled to my opinion, If the british empire hadn't strangled the life out of other nations then they would have the infastructure to build and maintian their own museums. cunt
@BitingOsprey .. i didnt say i hated this country.. just the people that are in charge of it.. 'fuck off back to your own country'? you sound like a classic small minded racist.
@BitingOsprey .. you are not understanding my response, you are simple, a simple racist, if you dont like me then fuck off away from my page, youtube is a big place.
If you like talking so much you should come in Italy. But you should learn the language first, here there are some people that once they start talking they go on forever... ;-). Howhever very interesting video.
ray, a paedophile is if you whant to have sex with a pre-puberty male/female, the 2 girls where clearly already women so you don't have to apologize for a paedophile-misanderstood

From my understanding, it is falls into two answers.
1) Most were damaged by periodic censorship fads.
2) Many statues were damaged as the result of warfare. After taking over a region a leader would destroy his rivals image (usually the face or dick).
