This takes stones after all the plundering they did, including their bags of gold fillings they had hidden in Swiss banks.

Amen. The same people crying about their lost treasures are refusing to allow the bust of Nefertiti to be sent back to Egypt for exhibit, claiming it's way too fragile to travel. Yet they have moved it for CT scans and will be moving it again when the new museum is completed. The bust was secreted out of Egypt by a German arcaeologist around 1913 and was given to the Berlin Museum on permanent loan. She was never put on public display for fear of reprisals from Egypt. It wasn't until 10 years later that the bust was made public and the Egyptian Antiquities Department became aware of its existance. Since then it has been the object of argument between the two countries.
