  1. It is likely that little was stolen from Tutankhamun's tomb as most of it belongs to the Egyptian nation and is still there. I believe that all the relics found by the current Earl of Carnarvon at Highclere Castle have been or are being returned. Many such relics are not catalogued and their whereabouts is actually unknown. Caenarvon actually found one, I think a scarab, at the back of a kitchen drawer!

  3.  Ryon Worthy  Museums are about history.

  4.  @MARKOUTTV  The greater amount of the BM's collection is either being researched or in storage. Museums are not solely about display and many are not even mostly about display.

  5.  @curtcoller3632  Absolutely. There would be nothing at all in the London Museum of History. In fact there is nothing at all in it as there is no such place.

  6.  @rivaiva3130  No.

  7.  Ryon Worthy  You posted to me Lol well obviously the british museum is only interested in other peoples history which is why not a single artifact can be found in the museum that displays british history. This is demonstrably untrue and I posted links to demonstrate that. I could have posted more links. Am I lying? Are those links a lie? I know you haven't the grace to apologise and I don't expect that but you might at least acknowledge that I did tell the truth.

  9.  @bunzeebear2973  Actually the British, French, German, American, etc., archæologists are there at the request of the Egyptian government as there is vastly too much archæology in Egypt for the Egyptian archæologists to cope with. If they could cope the foreign archæologists wouldn't be there.

  10.  @jmr1920  Virtually all the tombs had been plundered millennia before 🇬🇧 existed.

  11.  @duaamishra4908  That it is what archæologists do, at least in 🇬🇧. In places like Egypt it's more complex but the same principles are applied - dig, learn, conserve.

  12.  @madeyogiartha6363  William Shakespeare, democracy, William Wilberforce, railways, J. M. W. Turner and cricket are just a few other things in British history. Britain hasn't been invaded in nearly 1,000 years. When was Indonesia last invaded?

  13.  @adamclayton9960  In London not so long ago a redevelopment scheme well under way found that there was an old Saxon graveyard under where the pilings were to go. To complete the redevelopment the owners paid for a proper archæological evaluation and then most of the corpses were lifted (with due ceremony and in the presence of an Anglican priest) and relocated in a consecrated graveyard. A few could be left in situ and were. Was that reasonable by your lights?

  14. @SOANE SOAKAI (Student) So there is a London Museum of History. Wow. What's its address? Is it near the British Museum? Or do you mean the London Museum, the museum that was purely about London. The museum that was merged with the Guildhall Museum to form the Museum of London that is also purely about London. There is no London Museum of History.

  15.  @shreyapandey2005  So no other country has any Pharaonic Egyptian artefacts? Not Italy, France, Spain, the USA, *Germany, Holland and Belgium? Yet all these countries are proud of their entirely fictitious collections of Pharaonic Egyptian artefacts. You know nothing of history and nothing of archæology and nothing of museums.

  17.  @yanijen9733  and in many cases they've already been disturbed, often centuries or millennia ago.

  18.  @user-ol3ss3wi8f  Apart from a very few items that the the Lord Carnarvon took with him back to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 everything was left in Egypt. It is all still owned by Egypt and is usually in the Cairo Museum or in the tomb. The few trinkets found in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 have been repatriated by the current Lord Carnarvon. If anything else is found it will be repatriated.

  19. You really need to check on how archæologists treat burials and grave-goods because you quite obviously have no idea at all!

  22. As opposed to an artificial satellite.

  23.  @redireseFM  An artificial satellite is an object that has been intentionally placed into orbit. These objects are called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as Earth's Moon or Phobos, Titan and Ganymede.

  25. Archæologists, at least most of them, prefer to treat burials with respect. In 🇬🇧, where I live, there are many burials at risk from plough.and builders. Where necessary burials are relocated while others are protected properly. Pharaonic Egypt was far more densely populated than 🇬🇧 and even ordinary folk were buried with great ceremony, often with valuable grave goods. These grave goods were usually plundered in antiquity by grave-robbers for profit. To call archæologists grave-robbers is an undeserved calumny. In the 🇬🇧 we protect burials that haven't been plundered by studying them and all are reburied safely, usually in consecrated ground. I'm aware that this is impractical in many countries but the same principles usually apply. Certainly they apply in Egypt today.

  26.  @fiire_bug  For millennia there have been tomb robbers taking wealth from the tombs of Pharaonic Egypt, sometimes within weeks of the tomb being sealed.

  27. Yes and money.

  28. The fairly bad dig is mentioned but John Aubrey's records long before are extant - the Aubrey Holes are named for him. The Vatican had nothing to do with it as Britain was no longer RC at the time.

  30.  @justjax6000  They didn't use slaves, they simply used a A frame, an engineering tool they knew all about. A frames are still used today.

  33. Using an engineering structure called an A frame they can - and they knew about A frames even then.

  34. There is only one apparent astronomical alignment though it seems likely that it was deliberate.

  35. The people who desecrate the bodies are those who steal the grave-goods to sell them for profit. Archæologists don't do that, they conserve, preserve and respect the bodies.

  36. It is not that common now as more damage can be and often is done by gloved hands than otherwise.

  38. Do you enjoy being an idiot? I wouldn't.

  39.  @jayregal6478  A devilish theft? I wonder what that means? Is it wrong for people to want to learn about other cultures? Is it all meant to be a secret? You seem to believe so. Pharaonic Egypt was a huge culture that dominated the civilised world for millennia but only Africans have any right to know about the artefacts. Not the Egyptians whose ancestors made many of them, not the Mediterranean cultures that learnt from the Egyptians but just the Africans. You really are an idiot if you really believe that tommyrot. You probably don't understand archæology or the heritage it offers the world.
