Do I need to ship myself back to Luxembourg, because my ancestry is from there and I have their passport? But then the other half of my family is from Israel, but of course they were booted from there to Spain - which offered me citizenship too, and then from there to Turkey, but is now Bulgaria. Which do I choose? Do I just buy two homes, or does this only apply to artifacts - so I only need to ship all my family letters and photos back to Luxembourg?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe, just maybe, we can count all of these artifacts as belonging to all mankind, and focus on the public accessibility of the most important artifacts, rather than getting caught up on where things should go?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
