(The thought that the few artifacts that are "missing" won't be missed -- dishonors the dead righful owners!) For ions, visitors to Misr have taken home (purchased or pillaged) artifacts. Governments have accepted "gifts", tokens from the<BR/>Egyptian government of these artifacts. I firmly believe they should be back in Egypt where they belong as well as other artifacts acquired in other countries. Let<BR/>them honor us with "loans" such as the Tut exhibit which will soon be visiting America. All of this can be equated to "grave robbing", as their original owners surely never had it in mind for them to be taken out of their tombs, taken from their homeland, no less put permanently on display in a far-off land. Put all of the "booty" back where it belongs!!!!!!!!!<BR/>I can honestly say, when I was in Egypt, not once did I even touch the walls, the hieroglyps on the temples, etc., as I could appreciate the oils from my hands, the contaminants could ruin these wonderful works of the ancients, and my not touching these would allow future generations to be able to see them. I wish others would have the same respect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
