It be better if it was the British museum.
The point is to steal things that don't already belong to them.
Nah, the 'reverse' of putting it in a museum is repatriation.
Indy didnt steal from museums
I think you're missing their point.
Indy was always "it belongs in a museum" when its an intricate part of some foreign nations history. That museum always seemed to be British or US.
The point being they're just stealing their history back. A reverse Indy.
"It belongs to the culture it came from. Allow them to choose what to do with it. Perhaps they even have their own museums."
Very well put.
The Vatican is a museum whether you like it or not
