<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8163693, member: 24754&quot;]Things that were stolen, by even a loose definition of the word, should be returned. Anybody with a modicum of civility and sense of justice should agree with this IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>That aside, items from antiquity that could fall into these categories were made by human beings and represent pieces of human history. We are all human beings, so arguing that items belong to one group of people over others because of the location of origin or whose ancestors were whose doesn&#039;t make a lot of sense to me. Feeling an innate sense of ownership over items because of cultural connections is the same type of tribalistic thinking that allowed for the events described in the OP in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I view these things from the perspective of the group that tends to do the pilfering as opposed to being pilfered, so there is that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
