Screw the Brits - so many of the ancient relics, which were stolen/looted are in the British Museum. They should show some class and return them to where they rightfully belong.

Like all valuable relics that have been removed from sacred sites because
the countries where they are located are not capable, then,now,or in the future of looking after them themselves. Even Awass in Egypt admitted that during the last unrest in Egypt.

I don't really like to correct people on boards, but I was wondering...Humphries, when you said, "Even Awass in Egypt admitted that during the last unrest in Egypt", did you, perhaps mean, 'Hawass'? As in, Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt?

Again, I don't like to correct people on boards, but just wanted clarification.
