Archeology: Digging Up the Past

Points to Ponder... Significant cultural objects should be returned to their country of origin. Stable countries should act as caretaker for such objects. Museums and their curators that excavated the cultural artifacts should retain the artifacts.  National heritage is the deciding factor in ownership.
