The best thing that happened to the Parthenon was that Lord Elgin saved the Marbles by sending them to a safe place: the British Museum. If the Marbles had stayed in Greece, the world could not admire this great ancient masterpiece today.

Καλό θα ήταν οι ξένοι να το βουλόσουν , καταλάβαμε ένταξη δεν γουστάρετε την Ελλάδα, άντε και γαμηθείτε.

@lilouka22 In ancient times there was never a NATION called Hellas or Greece. This nation was created in the XIX century with the aid of the UK.

The transference of the Marbles to Britain was done with the permission of the Ottoman Government, authority recognized at the time as the legal authority in Athens; therefore this transaction was not a theft. I urge you to read my posts so as not to repeat the same tune over and over again.

@odalrich sorry but why do you think the rest of the thinking world is pleased with that theft that an idiot did to the greatest nation that ener lived in earth, HELLAS!!!!!, one day you will be begging to return to them to the place that they belong! by keeping them you think you can be equal to the ancient or the new greeks? you are nothing more thaN thieves!!!

@nick91pl The Ottomans never invaded Greece; they invaded the Eastern Roman Empire. Greece never existed in ancient times; it came into existence in the XIX century. The Marbles were created in the Republic of Athens, not Greece.

@odalrich i mean rightful authority which was chosen by the nation. The Ottoman Empire invaded Greece (as far as i can remember). The international communities are always looking for some kind of income, advantages etc. Maybe they dindn't want to tease the OE and recognized invader as the rightful authority, and then they were making legal deals.

@physiodifis btw It seems weird but those bulls were preserved in Bialowieski National Park in Poland.

@nick91pl I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the Ottoman Empire was the rightful authority recognized by the international community at the time. Lord Elgin acquired the Marbles in a legal transaction with that internationally recognized Authority. No theft was ever commited.

@odalrich but take into the consideration that the Ottoman empire wasn't the rightful authority at all. I saw the marbles in the British museum. I felt the theft behind not ancient history, sorry.
