<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4409385, member: 110226&quot;]While I agree that museums can, at times, be problematic, even corrupt institutions, depending on the countries where they are located, I do agree with the video&#039;s point that issues of a coin&#039;s provenance, and the fudging of a coin&#039;s provenance, is a problem in terms of understanding, historically, where the coin was originally discovered.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But this is part of the much larger problem these days, where war, (the destruction archaeological sites and the sacking of museums), corruption and poverty contribute to a loss in our ability to document and improve our understanding of human civilization.&nbsp; Let us not forget that dedicated professionals have died trying to protect and preserve cultural sites, such as Palmyra in Syria.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
