then they find a shoe with a foot still in it

@Deleted User Define 'dangerous'

Public funding even if enforced will not yield much though. General populace and corporations ain't interested at all.

Filled with allahites @Fitzydog

You know what? Who knows how many artifacts were preserved precisely because they were stolen from the middle east and Africa before they could be smashed by religious zealots?

@Deleted User And then get raped by some Nigerian warlord.

^

@DanielKO that’s a pretty good point

I disagree, I think plenty of people would donate if the research was interesting enough. Even internationally

True that I mean looking at the extent of destroying 2nd century BC artifacts in Afghanistan it is very likely for Muslims to do that.

or the destuction of the buddha statues

@Deleted User International funding, yeah but you are not considering how much of a fuss the government will make in that case.

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) My military friends tell me horrible stories of seeing ancient greek scultures and buddhist carvings in Afghanistan, and then they're destroyed the next week

because muh allah jihad

It's not really specific to Muslims. Less stable countries are dangerous places for historical artifacts, and works of art.

so shit holes?

Heck, even the Nazis destroyed a bunch of shit they pillaged from museums.

Yeah I guess I dont really know much about the government over there

Yeah there were Indo Greek kingdoms there. Statues of Heracles can be found as east as where I live as well.

Indians were very much inspired by Greek aet

art

and started carving everything in that fashion upto a period

why was the raj partitioned?

@DanielKO Anyone who burns books and artifacts get my instant hate however nice they claim themselves to be. I do not even scrutinise.

Because the Muslim League wanted it bad

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) Hurrah

And killings started as soon as the Partition was going to be repealed

The Great Calcutta killings, for example

Punjab became a mess minutes after the partition.

>muslims starting shit

>imagine my shock

Had there not been Pakistan it would have been escalated

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) punjab should have remained whole

Umm well yeah but that would have meant more violence.

A civil war perhaps

expell muslims from the sikh holy land

Wish they could do that.

Know what we need? Uzbekistan, and trukmenistan to get their shit together, each take a chunk of the Northern part of Afghanistan, give the western chunk to Iran, and the Kush range should be bombed into a new topography.

But though I hate Islam I would not have liked if that had been achievef.

Iran is just as bad, mate.

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) pakis are the most pitiful people
