To be fair. Most of the pyramids were raided far before the British took an interest and whatever they held has now been lost to time.

Well, that's the reason why I didn't write it like that. I wanted it to look like a dash, just like in novels.

TIL what quotation dashes are.

Will you display for free all your stolen giftshop loot for everyone to see, and promise never to damage it, sell it or dispose of it in any way.

That attitude gets retconed in the great circle.

where he explicitly says that it belongs in a museum and helps locals get their relics to keep safe in their museums. ie, it belongs in their museums.

good game overall

"I liked you better when you were a child I was grooming!"

They are my human skulls I found them fair and square

This is why I always donate my finished books to my local library. I don't need them and, if I want to read them again, I can always just go check it out from the library.

Museums should participate in cultural exchange, if a museum feels under threat then they have channels they can trust to protect their artifacts until they can be returned

If you're suggesting a daring heist at the Smithsonian, I'm in!

The only opinion that should matter is that of the people the artifacts belong to.

“It’s safer with us” is an excuse that’s been abused by colonizers and raiders for too long.

We have to be extremely wary of people who cite that because it's so easily used as a justification for artifact theft and can have deep roots in racism.

He narrowly escapes with his life after having the idol stolen from him by his rival, Belloq, who works for the Nazis and actually hired that Peruvian tribe to be his little private army. Belloq then orders the Peruvians to attack Jones and he barely escapes on his hired plane.

Temple of Doom had way more questionable scenes in it with the banquet, the heroic British soldiers at the end and... Short Round. Did they really have to name him that?

Although the cultists were based on a real group and I actually saw something that looked like the heart thing in an Indian movie, so maybe that's based on something real as well.

Yeah, but if the tribe made those traps that still work perfectly after hundreds of years, imagine how advanced they must be by now. Dr Jones was probably within miles of a hidden techno utopia and never had a clue.

I would assume there would be arguments around transporting them increasing the chances of it breaking. It would really only make sense to move these back to their country of origin and have them remain there to minimize potential points of failure. The rarer the artifact itself (another rusted out sword or plain clay cup versus a one of a kind manuscript whose pages have become incredibly delicate) the less their respective owners are going to want it to be moved.

Instead, we should be allowing more people the ability to travel and take time to go explore other cultures in their country of origin instead of trying to transport priceless artifacts across the globe.

Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

For example I've seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I've also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I've lived in that were far more than art.

Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

on the other hand how often things go missing in the British museum?

Petite brunette women with green eyes have always been my thing. I realised recently that is entirely due to Karen Allen.
