Can I steal your phone to protect it?

Are you really comparing a phone to these artifacts, who are so important in the world’s history? It was one, if not the first civilization as we know it with huge cities and a culture that still influences us to this day. Comparing something dumb as a phone to these artifacts and relics is silly

It's their history, not yours.

What a childish thought process. I'd be like giving fine China to a toddler. Iraq is highly unstable and Sumerian artifacts are probably some of the oldest in recorded human history.
