  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are [especially problematic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

    Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/jan/05/italy-returns-parthenon-marbles-fragment-greece-uk-row](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/jan/05/italy-returns-parthenon-marbles-fragment-greece-uk-row)**

  2. The pieces are so spread out that Greece could unfortunately fail to reunite them all. If they really cannot, I say, fuck it!

    Have a bold and innovative policy. Turn them into a positive symbol of Greek culture spreading throughout Europe. Ask foreign governments to have them displayed in their national parliament, as a constant reminder that therein lays an invaluable gift of the Greeks, part of the puzzle that European civilization is – democracy.

    That would be embracing the insult and turning into a great hope for the future. From stolen to symbol, just like Mona Lisa.
