  1. Ffs learn history. There was no Greek government when Elgin stole them in 1804.

  2.  @MySteaming  Nation and nation-state are two different things. Nations existed since mankind started while nation states were developed in the 18th century. The word ''nation'' comes from the latin word nātiō which means race, tribe, class and that certainly did exist in Greece even without nation state. . ''No Government = No Nation. It's a good job Lord Elgin rescued the Marbles and brought them back to a Civilised Democracy.'' Spoken like a true coloniser. And who exactly defines what's a civilised ''democracy''(to have British king-worshippers speak of democracy is the best century's joke actually) and what's not?? You?? The ancient Athenians didn't have a nation state or a government in the modern sense either(and of course neither your oligarchic pseudo-democracy), so I guess you would have a claim on them even when Ictinus or Callicrates were alive. British spirit there, you just can't get over it no matter how many years pass. No wonder the whole planet hates you and many europeans are ashamed to call themselves europeans only to not be associated with you in any way. ''The ancient Greeks would have been proud of the Brits & thanked them '' Sure they would, I am sure they would truly be proud to have a bunch of sacrilegious ''barbarians''(as they would call any non-Greek) come to the holy place dedicated to Pallada Athena and have them pillage and rob the temple by uprooting statues and breaking holy sculptures. I guess next time, if your house is put on fire I may enter your house and take your TV and then claim it as mine without giving it back to you, since ''I protected it''.
