  • Les marbres doivent retourner en Grece! Le pillage du Parthenon par les anglais est une honte qui ne peu plus subsister. Il faut en metre fin!

  • By the way i am living in Athens can really feel how precious the marbles are for this new museum and Athens. Britain has so much of diamond,gold and precious things that they looted from Asian countries which they have some reason for not giving back...but marbles from Partheneon!!! i dont know whats their problem...

see all

  • Παιδια,πρωτα απο ολα μην τα λεμε 'μαρμαρα' δεν ειναι απλα μαρμαρα. Μαρμαρο ειναι αυτο που βγαινει απο το λατομειο.ειναι γλυπτα του παρθενωνα και ολης της ακροπολης.Ας μην παρεξηγουμε τις εννοιες γιατι δειχνει οτι δεν ξερουμε και πολλα για αυτους τους θυσαυρους που τοσο θελουμε πισω..

  • BRING OUR MARBLES BACK!!!

  • of course you save nothing :P come o brits...grow up for once you just saved your ass and nothing more..not the marbles ...you are thieves with signature...and you are proud of it...

  • why everyone saying britain saved our marbles?

    read history

    they almost destroyed acropolis half of them are broken thanks to them

    they destroyed everything with their stupid """protection"""" greek marbles are brown

    greek marbles at britain are soooooooooo white and the marble is almost destroyed

  • The fact is the Parthenon is itself, including the sculptures, a single work of art which was vandalized time and again over the years, most egregiously by Elgin. The British have the opportunity now to foster good will and pay the price for this vandalism and return them to Greece. Make the work of Ictinus and Callicrates as whole as possible again.

  • The marbles are British,what a stupid comment.You are thieves and the marbels are Greek.

  • well, seeing that the ancient greeks rescued the english from the dark ages and helped their civilization advance through the era of the renaissance...yeah, i think the marbles rightfully belong in Greece.

  • The Marbles are British and should remain in London.
