<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lolli, post: 5412682, member: 96900&quot;]Looting is destroying our knowledge about history because looters destroy ancient sites and ancient objects are removed from their find context and lose so most of their historic value. And sometimes ancient objects get destroyed due to inappropriate &quot;excavations&quot; or end in some private collections without being published and so not being available for science and historians or in worst case ancient objects got lost forever, for example if gold objects are melted for material value, less profit but easier to sell. Looting is destroying the history and culture of nations and so their identity. This can not be excused.</p><p>And that looting was done in the past do not justify doing it today.</p><p>Crime is crime and only because others are doing or did crimes does not justify to do the same (in this context looting and stealing objects from museums etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/donnaml.110350/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/donnaml.110350/">DonnaML</a></p><p>has any of your ancient objects Ex Athena proper documents like export licence from Egypt or other origin countries or a predigree prior to 1970 which can be verified?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient objects without pedigree before 1970 UNESCO convention or valid export licence from origin countries are tainted and German museums are not allowed to buy such objects for example.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.unesco.org/fighttrafficking/1970" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.unesco.org/fighttrafficking/1970" rel="nofollow">https://en.unesco.org/fighttrafficking/1970</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
