Yeah, it's definitely a little questionable when the people currently inhabiting the land have no direct connection to the people who made the artifacts. And then you got shit like this. Or this. Or this.

Hot take: all artifacts should be located in the most geopolitically stable area possible

Hotter take: un peacekeepers should protect world heritage sites with weapons-free orders

So? It's their right to do as is with their land. It may not be great (also be cherry picked), but it is their right.

This is the exact reasoning that was given for colonialism and slavery.

"These barbarians can't take care of themselves, they need civilization and christianity and they need to work for us to have good lives."

Colonist ass mindset. They'll destroy their own lands, pollute their environment and then hoard other people's culture because they don't want to admit they were shitty in the past.

As an American, we should be shipping our arts out of the country before the current regime decides it's subversive to the regime and burn it. Especially any art made by minorities, opposition or in places that might get bombed(any coastal city).
