Yassou from Sweden !
I will soon have the opportunity to visit Athens during a cruise from Venice later in July and really look forward to
visit the Acropolis with its impressing building Parthenon!
It's a dream for many years, it's like an "inner urge". I don't know why really, maybe it's an old memory from a pas life…
I have been before to both Ephesus in Turkey and the Giza Pyramids and this would make it complete
in some way... as visiting so many "Wonders of the World" as possible.
The Parthenon is a major and important building in our common history. For all people in the world.
Therefore I'm sad to hear that the British museum does not respect and understand
your urge to get everything in complete, such as having all artefacts that belong to Greece history in its place.
So over to my idea . . .
Wouldn't it be a good advice to start some sort of petition at your website ?
I am a member of Oceana ( http://www.oceana.org/) since a couple of years and have
found that they have a very good service for the members to take action in a very concrete way
protecting the oceans, by filling in and sign a "prepared" petion, like this one:
http://takeaction.oceana.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25178
Wouldn't it be a good idea for you to do something like that ?
( promise you, I would sign it right away !)
To be honest, I am tired of some countries arrogance and selfishness like in this case,
"stealing and keeping other countries historical artefacts and thereby removing important information of that countries own history.
Really wonder how Great Britain would react if someone should steal one of the stones from Stonehenge.
What do you think? ;-)
The Kindest regards

P.S
I am also aware of that fact that British museum is keeping the original piece of the famous and important Rosetta Stone.
A stone which has solved a lot of problems in translating very old scripts around Europe and middle East.
And then letting the Cairo museum only have the copy of it!
How arrogant isn't that? ;-)
