I think it is quite true that we humans admire that which we don´t have which therefore would lead me to think that they are more appreciated in foreign countries. Where do you draw the line in history? If we were to squabble over and try to correct every little occurrence in history most of South America would have to be turned over to the Spanish which would have to be turned over to someone else, the Western United States to the Mexicans who would have to turn it over to the native Americans, Canada to France, etc. Sometimes I think it is just better to appreciate the history and beauty of an object instead of worrying about injustices that we had nothing to with anyways.

True, it could have probably been gone by now if it wasn't for the British... but then again, since Egypt is now better off than years ago, shouldn't they return it now? yeah, you got a point there, I guess i’ve overlooked.

Ironically, the reason they are so well preserved today is probably because they are displayed in foreign museums. It is no secret that Egyptian tombs have been raided and pillaged throughout the centuries by grave robbers and "treasure hunters" meaning that if it weren´t for these conservatories, there may very well not be any proof of the obelisks now. “Its about time the British and France Museum return all of Egypt’s treasure, isn’t it morally and ethically wrong to loot a country’s treasure and display it in your own museum?”
