Yeah I'm totally sure the Brits didn't break a single thing shipping artifacts to their big fancy museum. Let's ignore all the mummies Europeans ground up into powder and ingested as "medicine". Savagely eating dead humans with the same mouths that say brown people are too savage to take care of their own artifacts.

To be fair, they probably weren't able to take care of their own artifacts very well ... after having been invaded by the British.

Damn, beat me to it. Colonialism is a hell of a drug.

Oddly enough they didn't teach that part of history when I was at school. Got anything I could learn up on it

Jumping Jimminy! One of my college English lit courses spent 4 full weeks on Donne. It was all his religious poems, certainly not this.
