What can be done if the British Museum continually refuses to return the Parthenon sculptures to Greece?


have answered question, dear heart,
many times before. below similar answer gave few
weeks ago. feel did if not more so.

uk unfortunately never let parthenon marbles return
greece permanently though 3 out of 4 british people agree
return.
called loan greece out of question
legitimising theft thomas bruce, 7th. earl of elgin, though
possession 9 tenths of law ,
uk them back.

need greek goddess melina mercouri:-
18th. october 1920 - 6th. march 1994
strongest advocate return of parthenon marbles
, fought tirelessly return.

"i hope see marbles home before die,
if come later shall reborn"

whatever argument uk puts forward despicable act of sheer
vandalism pales insignificance there new home
return place born ,
have roots.

edit: update hackman's question,
elgin asked architect bring greece
plaster casts of surviving objects, not remove actual pieces
later, in 1816 sold britsh government £35,000
parthenon marbles without doubt cultural property of greece
, brutal vandalism committed elgin 2 centuries ago not reason
enough uk condone such theft @ it's highest level , violates laws
such national stolen property act.
there is, committee reunification of parthenon marbles.
'phone number wanting offer support is: 020 7226 6686

edit: odyssey marine exploration
"one nation's underwater looters nation's
excavators-for-hire"

edit: have come across following outrageous
quote art critic richard dorment:-
"the greeks should erect statue of lord elgin near
parthenon express gratitude him saving
marbles"
