Bring The Parthenon Marbles And All Greek Ancient Monuments Back To The Place They Were Born...

Greece is not alone. Other countrys like Portugal were devastated by attacks that stole their precious-

Could someone tell me the name of the worst thief in human history?

To help you a little bit, he was a diplomat.

The problem for you is that Greece has no legal claim on them whatsoever, it is a shame for you though it is reality all the same, you do know what reality is dont you?

[hoplitespao]

Why do you talk about your masters (usa) ? Did you know that we (Europe) saw you as puppets of USA? I remember a nice song of George Michaels "good puppy good puppy..."

No the new museum was not only for the come back of the frieze.... we are not so crazy

So the UK law legalize the steal???? Interesting concept

[tigerwa]

You mean the Greeks paid a Swiss designer millions of euros to built a huge museum just on the promise of a few people you consider to be ignorant barbarians, who do you really think looks the stupidest in that situation?

The excuse that they had was that Greece had no place to put them, but now that they have a World class museum for them, now they look like complete idiots! To reunite the pieces is not just emotional for Greeks but it should be logical to everyone! Why have the cover here and the pages there? And no my friend British tax payers dont loose any money from the millions of tourist those pieces attract! So give them back to Greece! Ambassador Elgin stole them its no secret so what is the problem?

[hoplitespao]

Of course they said that. That's why there is an empty room in the new museum. It was the condition to give back the frieze.

Perhaps you need to come to Hellas to see the nice photos took by your brothers, you will see their moon...

[tigerwa]

They did not say they would send the sculptures to Athens, they have never said that and the chance that they will is extremely remote.

Also I am no relation to Lord Elgin, and the last part of your comment does not even make any sense.
