It can be difficult to determine who historical finds belong to. The Greeks may have a valid reason to demand Greek artifacts from other Western nations. However, expecting Ancient artifacts that they have no connection to beyond invading, conquest, and subsequent looting the region where they could be found is utterly unreasonable for the Turks. That is similar to a car thief demanding that the vehicle he stole be returned to the impound lot. However, the Turkish colonizers of Islam are clamoring for a Papist statue’s head. Turkey and the Danish museum are at odds over a bronze statue of Emperor Septimius Severus that is on display in Copenhagen. Turkey wants the head again because it was taken during an archeological dig in the 1960s.
A statue of the Roman emperor, who lived from AD 145 to 211, was just returned to Turkey, minus the head, after spending decades in the United States as part of a private collection that loaned it to the Metropolitan Museum in New York. After we took something from its initial owners, please return it to us. The statue is not Greek in any way. It’s a piece of German artifact situated on land taken by Turkey. Since there is at least some social overlap, the Danes have a stronger claim to it than the Turks do. Even so, I can see why the headless statue was returned. After many, beheading things is quite common in Islam. Turkey authorities, on the other hand, are certain of the head’s origin and specifically cite the work of late Turkey archaeologist Jale Inan, who measured the body and head.
The bronze originates in Bubon, Turkey. Mehmet Bulut, the Turkish charge d’affaires in Denmark, said,” We are asking for its return, just like we are for all Turkish objects.” Turkey can take the head when they return the Hagia Sophia, is the appropriate response. What specifically is a nation ruled by an Islamic tyrant supposed to do with an unclothed man statue, too? How much will it continue to exist in an Islamist hellhole where the leaders are connected to the Islamic vandals who destroyed priceless artifacts in Syria? The Danes might be able to exchange a few boxes of Korans for some artwork. Or perhaps someone can use grease and mashed potatoes to create a Mohammed head. They would undoubtedly bargain for that.
It can be difficult to determine who owns archeological findings. It is reasonable for the Greeks, who are a European nation, to demand Greek artifacts. The Turks are not entitled to expect Roman artifacts from other European countries, even if they invaded, conquered, and looted the area where they were found. It’s like a car thief asking the impound lot to return the car that he stole. The Islamic colonizers of Turkey demand the head of a Roman sculpture.
The statue is not Turkish. It’s an artifact from Europe that is located on territory that Turkey has seized. Since there is some cultural overlap, the Danes are more entitled to it than Turks. I can still understand why they returned the statue without the head. Islam is a religion that is known for beheading people. For Turkish authorities, however, the origin of this head is not disputed. They cite the work of late Turkish archaeologist Jale Inan who took measurements of both the head and the body.
The bronze is from Bubon, Turkey. Mehmet Bulut is the Turkish charge d’affaires in Denmark. “Like all objects from Turkey we are asking for its return,” he said. How long can it survive in an Islamist hellhole, whose leaders are linked to the vandals of priceless artifacts who destroyed them in Syria? Maybe the Danes will trade some boxes of Korans in exchange for some art.Or someone can make Mohammed’s head out of mashed potato and grease. They’d surely negotiate for that.
