To those supporting the British Museum idea of holding the Parthenon Sculptures in England: 1. By the time (1800) the English lord stole the marbles, the place (modern Greece), was occupied by Islamists. 2. The Lord came.with one and only intention to get the marbles and sell them afterwards for profit. 3. He got permission from the islamic Sultan of Constantinople who didn't care less. 4. From 500 BC to 1800 AD (2300 years) the Temple was intact in most of it's parts. 5. At least the decorations was there, an no-one had the devilish idea to remove them. 6. Parthenon was converted to a Christian church. No priest thought of removing the marbles. 7. Parthenon was converted to an islamic mosque. No imam cared if the marbles stood above. 8. The English thive came and saw the marbles off. Yes he used iron saws to cutt them of and down. 9. Some parts was feld down during the process and broke. 10. Three ships carried them to London, in a most dramatic voyage. 11. The enslaved Greeks of Athens, while in a small number, wiped tears for the unwilling theft. 12. The English Lord held the marbles for years at his residence, trying to auction them to nobles and kings throughout the World. 13. Initially the British Museum didn't want them, as the selling price was too high for them. 14. After the possession of the marbles (after 50 years of coming to England), in the reing of Queen Victoria, the museum tried to clean them with citric (lemon) acid (!!!!!!!!!) and make them white again, witch caused bigger damage after the centuries and the cutting. 15. In 21st century, the roof of the Hall of the Parthenon Galleries was dropping rain water directly on to the marbles (!!!). 16. In the summer of 2023 A.D. a huge scandal surfed on British Museum, that the curator of greek antiquities was leaving his day job every day, with small antiquities in his briefcase, selling them on Ebay afterwards. 17. There is no information if the curator and the English Lord of the beginning are related by blod. 18. The Director of Governors of the Museum was resigned after the issue came in public, and he failed to cover it up. 19. The New Acropolis Museum in Athens is built in right proportions and orientation to host back and protect the stolen Greek treasures. 20. We, the People of Greece will spare no effort, publication, demand, and negotiations for our goal to be successful one day, if not in ours generation, to the generation of our children at least. Ζήτω η Ελλάς - Long live Greece 🇬🇷 Thanks for reading me.
