>> France’s Elgin Marbles?
The Louvre has several Parthenon marbles. I don't know where they got them from but I don't understand why nobody is asking that they be returned like the ones looted by Elgin. They absolutely should.
Also, they have the Nike of Samothrace and the Aphrodite of Milos, both of which are Greek archeological treasures that should be returned to Greece. And many more besides from Egypt and mesopotamia (the Lamassu from the palace of Sargon II!) that don't belong in, nor, to France.
