<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WuntBeDruv, post: 24803080, member: 115520&quot;]You keep repeating this mantra that modern nation states do not have a legitimate claim to retain ownership of and preserve objects discovered within their borders (obviously, material discovered since passing legislation which protects its status - as there are states who did not always do this), almost as if you repeat it enough times it will become true. You speak as though the rights of collectors trump the rule of law. As many have found, they do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me be blunt. This is an imperialistic, denigrating attitude. Every sovereign nation state on planet Earth has the right to make and enforce its own laws regarding cultural heritage. That is a sacred, unalienable right which your protestations do not threaten in the slightest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
