It’s Torso of a Kore aka. Persephone, it’s means virgin. Dating back to the 6th century BCE and proven to have been abducted from the ancient city of Miletus in Aydın, Turkey, and later discovered at an auction in the United Kingdom, has been handed over to the Turkish Embassy in London to be repatriated to Turkey.
Uhm, shouldnt that be going to Greece??????
Now those gold trinkets from Ghana.
Strange it goes to Turkey and not Greece considering this artifact did belong to them before Anatolia was colonised by Turks.
well that was the wrong address
How do you think they changed Turkeys mind about Sweden in Nato

Is it still named „turkey“?

Unfortunate considering Turkey’s lousy track record on handling the Greek heritage in their country. Turkey has vigorously tried to Turkify its historically Greek parts down to village names. A Herculean task indeed
Don’t they have laws in place to prevent this from happening?
Come on guys, of course it has to go back to its place of origin, Turkey in that case,
HOWEVER lets hope they dont put burga on Persephone just like they did in Hagia Sofia
There is an entire museum in Germany named Pergamon, which actually composed by moving an ancient Greek village from Anatolia to Berlin.
Unfortunately, Anatolian ground have been looted and pillaged durring and after WW1.
While in Turkey I was really surpised by the public animosity towards the greeks even in the cities that owed their existence to commercializing their former works. I hope they protect this artifact, but Europe really needs to stop making concessions to Turkey.
London Museum should return everything. It is an exhibition of stolen objects by the biggest thieves in the history of Mankind.
I can’t believe people are arguing about who needs to own that statue. I think we know who it doesn’t belong: FUCKING UK, the real thief. Stop arguing, fellow Greeks and Turks. Just like your heritages and history, your enemy is also common.
It should go to Greece not Turkey literally has nothing with Turkish people
this is clearly intended as a petty jab at Greece lmao
