I would like to share the following post from Archaeoloy News Network regarding the US and its repatriation of artifacts smuggled out of Egypt in 2011.
As I noted in many posts, the turmoil in many countries affects the stability of that country's heritage, involving looting, desecration, and destruction of sites.
I am almost always a champion for repatriation, but I wonder if these artifacts will be safe given the current instability.
