However, it is starting to pervade the public conciousness... Questioning ownership of cultural artefacts - These items were often taken / looted or removed in a different era ( sometimes legally) - but does this give countries the 'right' to buy and sell another countries patrimony? How would the USA feel if I was rich enough to take the Declaration of Independence so I could put it on my wall? What about stonehenge? any takers?

Attitudes are changing. and hopefully, these sales will become as unacceptable as drink driving
