Once again, I will promote the excellent podcast, Stuff the British Stole. No affiliation.
The museum collections scene is the most realistic scene in Indiana Jones, cmv.

Somehow I managed to only see one of these films once during my archaeology master’s lmao.

Westerners will say “but those relics are safer with us, since your country is fucked” without a hint of self awareness about who fucked up these countries to begin with. And regardless of the situation in those countries, it is THEIR decision where their relics get to be kept safe, not the decision of the people who stole it.

ISIS felt the same, then they blew up the Buddhas in Afghanistan, and destroyed countless other artifacts in Iraq

Uh, no. The Taliban ordered the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, not Daesh / IS.
Daesh destroys relics, but the Buddhas were destroyed in 2001, before Daesh was even a part of Al Qaeda.

No invasion of Iraq, no Isis. Again, we’re back to what I mentioned, in the end it’s not up to you, the thief nation that stole it.

well, but that awareness doesn’t unfuck those countries. so they’re still right

Honestly with how good we have become are reproduction. Their is very little (I don’t think any) that we need to keep the originals away from the county of origin.

If we conqured you that nears you’re par of our country now so it’s technically still in its country of origin right?

The best idea I heard about continuing the Indiana Jones franchise is Short Round (played by Academy Award Winner Ke Huy Quan) stealing artifacts from Western museums to return them to their rightful people.

I thought about this setup but with Sallah's kids, he had so many that could team up and collect all the Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum during WWII since everyone else is distracted
