Re: Mind's Eye Re: Museums

One of the museum in Leiden did return all of its artifacts..  the  one you see there now are actually gifts from Egypt.

The relationship between the Museums here in the Netherlands have excellent relationships between them and the archaeological departments of foreign government resulting in some fantastic displays

I'd like to see deeper changes than just handing the stuff back.  Our

boring.  Some of the amazing ancient geometry is actually found in
molecules.
