Iraqi man cries bitterly at the British Museum when he sees his country’s stolen cultural heritage on display.
Deserves the spread because when they steal it for display it’s not stealing. Trash.
I LOVE THIS PHOTO but it was actually taken in Iraq and shows a man who is overwhelmed by the rediscovery of the Nimrud treasury in 2003, which was feared lost or damaged. A really beautiful (and tragic) photo which shows the effect that preserving cultural identity still has and why efforts to restore artefacts to their original locations where possible should be supported, but not linked to the theft of Assyrian relics by the British Museum.
Y'all wanna be pulling receipts about something another blogger said in 2006 because it’s not that you give a single fuck about progress and changing minds and attitudes, but because you want internet brownie points for “dragging” someone else and looking mightier than though. BYE!
