Date: July 11th, 2025 9:43 PM Author: khaki trip french chef office you think Arabs were too stupid to dig up artifacts and sell them 900 years ago. 75% of Egyptian tombs got raided by other ancient Egyptians, that's why they started building them into cliff faces (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5749312&forum_id=2/en-en/#49094821) |

Date: July 11th, 2025 9:09 PM Author: khaki trip french chef office Everything good went into private collections. Nothing shown to the public is worth shit except a few pieces here and there.
The only country with its shit together on this is Mexico, where they have everything but the Dresden Codex right there. 99.99% of Mayan artifacts are still there in the jungle |

Date: July 11th, 2025 10:15 PM Author: khaki trip french chef office I was able to walk through some of those rooms, I just couldn't pull up a chair and look at items. Coin collections don't seem like a yuge deal since Scandinavians keep finding hoards of them buried in the ground

A lot of the smaller museums on the continent have more interesting regional-specific collections with rarities the big museums don't have.
Brits find tons of buried stuff as well. Some is interesting and important; most isn't. Interestingly, hoards in the UK are reported up through the local coroner... it makes sense, but it's strange from a US perspective. |
