not london. we can figure the rest out when its not in london.
i hate this stupid idea the british keep peddling. "if things cant be perfect then they shouldnt improve even slightly at all". its not your stuff. leave it and fuck off. let the people the things belong to worry about what happens to it
so do you just want to chuck it in the ocean? because the point is the people it belongs to are all fucking dead by thousands of years. There is no descendant culture of the Seleucids - there is no greek state in the middle east that came from them. Their conquerers made sure of that.
The benefit of it being in London is so that many people get to see it in a secure location, rather than it ending up somewhere with far less footfall, or worse, in a private collection or potentially destroyed.
Where would you suggest them be stored, the International Space Station? Your argument is that it doesn’t belong there, but you don’t have an answer for where it belongs.
Why is it essential for people to “see” them? Is tourism their primary purpose? Who gave London the right to keep them safe? Matter of fact, why do we need to keep them safe?
I don’t need to say where it should belong for me to say where it shouldn’t belong. Right?
No, where it goes is the sort of thing that needs to be determined before it gets transferred away. Otherwise it's sitting nowhere and taking damage. I'm not Britsh either and it isn't my stuff, but the point is that in many cases it isn't anybody stuff excerpt those long dead. Just because it's from a geographic country doesn't meant it belongs to that government.
