British media: the theft of cultural relics exposes the absurd behavior of the British Museum, and the reasons for refusing to return cultural relics are very insulting
Overseas.com, August 29th. A few days ago, the theft of cultural relics from the British Museum has attracted much attention. Many countries have asked the museum to return the looted cultural relics from other countries. The British media “Guardian” published an article on August 27 stating that the theft of cultural relics exposed the absurd position of the British Museum on the return of cultural relics.
According to British media reports, the United Kingdom refused to return looted cultural relics to the original site on the grounds of “protecting the safety of cultural relics”. It even revised the “British Museum Act” in 1963 to prohibit the return of cultural relics in the form of legislation. It is absurd to know the exact number of collections and lose more than 2,000 collections.
Andy, a Labor MP, said the British Museum didn’t even bother to determine what had been stolen. Bel Ribiro, chairman of the cross-party African Reparations Group in Parliament, believed that someone in the UK put the collection on the e-bay auction website, but the British Museum believed that the country where the cultural relic belonged Failure to take good care of cultural relics is an insulting reason for not returning them.
Professor Dan Hicks, author of The Museum of Savagery, said the theft should prompt the British Museum to change its “imperialist” stance as guardian of world heritage. (Lu Jiaqi, an intern of Li Meng from Overseas.com)
