@@benghazi4216 At least I know that when Britain and France robbed China's Old Summer Palace, they didn't spend a cent. Most of the exotic cultural relics in the British Museum were bought at no cost
Good journalism, yes its looted treasures. The British Queen stole kohinoor diamond from a child Prince of the great Sikh Khalsa Empire Lahore and she wears it in her crown. Why should British Queen become a thief?
Remember how you western colonists also put Africans and other Indigenous people in your museums/zoos. At least give whatever artifacts you have back to them.
Theres a lot of native american artifacts in europe, stolen like 400 years ago and many have ask them to give them back, just ask to Áustria how they have denied to give back to Mexico The feathered crown of Moctezuma.
Why apply this moral only to the West? Attila stole great wealth as have every other conquering force throughout history. Perhaps some items ought to be returned to the crafting country throughout the entire world to those who have the means to care for the items. Make reproductions whenever possible so that the item can still be displayed in the conquering country. In that way, we will learn and appreciate each other better.
Well then next would be redistributing all the war spoils taken during multiple wars in Europe. Swedish museums are still full of artifacts from Denmark, Poland etc. Or is that different?
The difference with this is that the Benin bronzes are still to this day of priceless religious and historical significance to the Edo people. The bronzes are their traditional way of record keeping, and they are still of great religious significance as part of the ancestor worhship of the royal family. It would be the equivalent of having the vatican archives looted and moved to another continent. Plus a Dane wanting to see their historical artefacts in Sweden can travel there pretty effortlessly. For many Nigerians the visas, travel costs and most obvious of all the covid restrictions are totally preventing them from having any access to these artifects.
@@MoonThuli I think you misunderstood what I am saying, I completely agree that all stolen goods should be returned to their places of origin. Can’t even imagine what a person from Egypt feels like walking through sections of the British Museum.

How much you want to bet in a couple years a Boko Haram terrorist attack ends up destroying these... Honestly a small minority of nations shouldnt be given their artifacts back simply because the situations they are in now would end up destroying them and we would lose a piece of history forever. Syria and Yemen in particular come to mind, both in brutal civil wars with no end in sight.
Of course. Imagine I stole your house and didn’t want to return it. Plus this will be a great source of tourism for struggling economies and countries.
This can’t be right. What would be the point of looting if looted artefacts need to be returned eventually? What happened to the “Takers Keepers” principle?
I think if they give it back they will be stolen and will never see them again! Like honestly , how secure do you think a nigirian museum would be compare to a German one , just honestly respond that! Fact as are facts ! So I think they shouldn’t return them. These are very ancient and expensive artifacts !
that comment makes me think you are the ignorant white folks whose whole understanding of Africa is from watching movies and you think we all live in trees, if we have vaults for securing currency reserves what makes you think we cant secure an art piece or you think our museums are huts

charley thats assuming that aren't museum in the continent. i am working for 7 museums spread in 5 nations. they will do just fine. they've got other older items in those. your opinion does not matter that of people living there actually DOES.
Really good program. About time to talk about the stolen arts and beyond by colonial oppressors. Germany seems to understand, to certain degree, that facing the uncomfortable facts from their past actions is better that escaping it and hiding behind pathetic excuses. Hope other countries like England, France, Portugal etc will follow suit.
People have some strange arguments in this comment feed. It may well be true that the objects are “more secure” here in Europe (in whatever post colonial country they ended up in). But we’ve documented them, we’ve learned everything we are gonna learn from them. What do they mean to us now? What significance do these objects have to Europeans? Trophies and memorabilia of their lost empires? I thought we were all trying to conveniently forget about our past atrocities actually. And I dare say, for the majority of the European population, they mean nothing. Yet this is not the case for the communities from which they come. The objects should be returned to the peoples from whom they were stolen. If they are then stolen again by someone else, that’s really not the problem of the European museums and institutions. I agree that being able to go to a museum in Berlin to view these artefacts, learn about these cultures and hopefully appreciate them a little better, is a potentially beautiful thing. But it’s also completely white privilege. The communities to whom these objects belong to should get to pick and choose exactly which objects they want to keep and exactly which ones they would like to share, and exactly how much we need to pay for the privilege of displaying them. Especially when you consider that the vast majority is simply hoarded in storage. I mean, why are you depriving someone of something they can use when you yourself have no use for it. Makes no sense.
Why did you write so much? It's more important that these objects are safe until Africa is ready to have museums. Have you seen how stable Africa is? Not at all. You're just talking about feelings. You want to be NICE. Everyone should he NICE. Everything can be NICE. Just because there's all his head-patting of Africans going on, it changes nothing about how much of a mess these countries are. They are priceless objects of human history. Europe is a safe place for them.
Return them to the King palace of Benin because when Benin started existing there was no place called Nigeria. So dont give us stress and for the British they will continue to face uncertainty till they understand.
Where is Polish art? Give it back. I hope all Africans will get theirs legacy back all art and beauty. Germany give back all stuff you took from Poland
With the actual technology Germany could make 3D prints of all these statues a d keeps the 3D prints in their museums and give the rest back to the rightful owners, maybe they have the capacity to administer them , and hopefully they won’t sell them to the highest bigger, but it’s their prerogative,it’s their artefacts and they can sell them if they want to
Are you African? This is exactly my thought. Africa can have these back when there is political and social stability. Nigeria is on the rise, as are a few other African states. The problem is that bad neighbors destabilize the stable ones .
I also have agreed with Dr Hawass, about returning ancient antiquities. Which one should be returned to Egypt, for example?! Return Nefertities bust, and put it in the Gem, with King Akenaton, where she belongs! And return ALL of the African art! GIVE IT ALL BACK! 🤨
Also, if India still thinks Ashoka was there great hero and not mughals then every thing related to Mughals should be handed our to Pakistan and the taj mahal should be lifted and placed in lahore 😁😁😁😁
Great. But... do they have secure museums in Africa? Or it will go to someone's privet collection after being stolen. Museums should pay fees if hosting forigner artifacts.
have you ever thought about why they don't have secure museums? it is part of the colonial history too. some countries didn't only take away art pieces. n now you suddenly care?
@@xinxinzhu100 I don't care. It is good to return that now. It will be stolen to private collection and in few years sold to some museum. So who cares.
Yes return it to an unstable country. I mean they have been well looked after for years. If they are returned then the country must provide a duty of care before returning. Look at all the stuff that was destroyed in Syria, Libya, Egypt.

@@Essex-ux4zv Dude lmao . African countries have generational Civil wars. It's a cruel joke of a continent. It makes Africans feel good, but now is the time for development and stability, not showing this art to people who are eating grubs and leaves.
@@Chironex_Fleckeri This is the problem with spouting eurocentric nonsense. Warfare is not new to civilization unfortunately and paradoxically it is inherent to it. Before Germany, England and France just to name a few, attained nationhood they were feudal warring states. They were always waging war within their countries. Let's fast forward to today, the situation of Syria has nothing to do with the Syrian people. However, it illustrates that countries are utilized as proxies in the ongoing 'war' between global empires. The civility/superiority you allude to be inherent in Germany led to two world wars and a holocaust. If you are incapable of appreciating the sanctity of life I believe art would escape you.
These objects are priceless and irreplaceable. If the original country doesn't have a stable government and infrastructure to maintain them properly they will be lost to incompetence. Case in point, the Taliban destroyed the cliff statues Buddhas of Bamiyan. They're gone -- other regional conflicts have seen other items lost. Looting of mummies, urban encroachment too close to fragile structures (e.g. Cairo/Cheops), and just simple lack of conservation skills and funding. If they can't properly care for them, then no. They should remain in competent hands until such time that the original country can fund and host the items safely.
My thoughts exactly. But these nations are almost like struggling teenagers. It's impolite to tell them what their country is really like, yet now is a terrible time to give Africa these objects back. They aren't ready for it
Because they'll just be destroyed when the next wave of violence inevitably grips these countries. Look at the history of these countries. Civil War every 20-30 years? The destruction of artifacts by ISIS and the Taliban showed how bad this idea is
Guys, you do not get what happens with returned artifacts. Those Africans will make money on art just by selling it to private collectors. The developed counties do preserve artifacts from looting.
