actually the parthenon marbles have been partially destroyed in the british museum as said to their credit by british archeologists. they "scratched" them and bleeched them and took away their natural brown coloration. not to mention the damage from being removing from the parthenon.

not really considering the part of the parthenon marbles that he did leave inplace are faring much better than the ones in the british museum.

maybe maybe not.
the problem is not the british people but the museum and the fear that thei return would open up pandora's box for petitions of return from egypt ect etc and further petitions for other items and from other museums as well.

The year is 1821. Greeks are fighting for their independence. In Athens, they besiege the Acropolis, a stronghold of the Turkish occupiers. As the siege grinds on, the Turks' ammunition runs short. They begin to dismantle sections of the Parthenon, prying out the 2,300-year-old lead clamps and melting them down for bullets. The Greek fighters, horrified at this defacement of their patrimony, send the Turks a supply of bullets. Better to arm their foes, they decide, than to let the ancient temple come to harm.

you are ignorant and I bet damn hairy dinodocy. 
to supply you with info the worse damage done to the parthenon was by an italian bombardment. (which shows how much italiannavy generals respected culture  ) |
Nobody accused the Greeks of being responsible for the damage to the Parthenon. Just that it WAS damaged by someone, so the marbles were better off being elsewhere.
As fo the BM losing its most valuable artifact...who can lay claim to the Rosetta Stone?

It was damaged by looters and the bombardment. However that was a facade of the temple and not the parthenon marbles. So unless elgin took the whole temple off the ground I dont see how this helped

also i believe it is a bit hypocritical to attribute to elgin virtues he never had such as the intend to protect the marbles.
he simply had them removed to adorn his garden at scotland since he thought they were cute. and when he died he donated them to the british museum.

what would be the use of that?
and why should we get over it?

Saw those at the British Museum during my trip. Glad somebody is bothering to keep the antiquities safe, clean and in good shape. Just look at the Parthenon...
