  1. It's just history, while the stealing of these artifacts was morally wrong at least the artifacts have been kept safe and are open to the public. I believe the museum is still free to visit to anyone. And imagine if some of these artifacts were left in Iraq or Syria, there is a high risk they'd have been destroyed either by collateral damage or by the isis zealots who destroyed much of ancient Palymra. And I wouldn't put it past corrupt dictators selling artifacts to private collectors or gifting them to supporters, where they may be lost to the public forever. Egypt is building an extravagant new museum for housing the artifacts of ancient egypt, but how safe are they really going to be there in that part of the world. Remember Luxor 2015, the new museum is a disastrous incident waiting to happen.
