Amazing how much bigger of a place the world was, back then. This picture shows that so few people knew about mummies that were there for so long... by contrast today everything is explored and excavated and taken to museums very quickly

The Archaelogical Method was only about 60 or so years old, having been conceived around 1790 or so. In my opinion, everything should be taken to museums. Preferably away from their native country if their native country is a shithole.

Yes. Hide everything in museums and only let the "experts" decide what the public may see.

If the country is a shithole then keep it that way. Don't let them have their own "experts" or tourist industry.

Plunder pillage and rape!
