Rescued or seized? Greece’s long fight with UK over Parthenon Marbles
When the Parthenon in Athens fell into ruins in early the 1800s, a British ambassador with permission from the Ottoman Empire preserved about half the sculptures, which are now at the British Museum. But Greeks for centuries have wanted them back; the deal was made before their country fought for independence from the monarchy. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Christopher Livesay reports.

Why are the PARTHENON MARBLES so controversial? | History of the Elgin Marbles at the British Museum
Should Britain return the PARTHENON MARBLES to Greece? In this week’s video from History Calling we look at the history of the Elgin Marbles (as they are also called) from antiquity to the present day and ask why are the Parthenon Marbles so controversial and were the Parthenon Marbles stolen or saved?
First though, what are the Parthenon sculptures? Answer; they are a collection of friezes, metopes (meaning sculpted reliefs) and statutes depicting creatures from classical mythology and a long procession of human beings. The history of the Parthenon Marbles dates to the 5th century BC when they were first built as part of the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis in Greece, designed to honour the goddess Athena. Over half the Marbles have since been destroyed due to fires, deliberate destruct...

'Time’ to return Elgin Marbles to Greece: Piers Morgan
Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says the debate about whether the Elgin Marbles should leave or remain at the British Museum is almost as old as the marbles themselves.
“Those who want them to stay in the British Museum are worried it will open the floodgates,” Mr Morgan said.
“They say countries around the world will begin demanding the return of all our colonial treasures."
Mr Morgan said he sympathised with this opinion in the past but ultimately came down to an argument from the Greek Prime Minister who said it was a matter of where they can best be appreciated.
“The British Museum could still own the marbles but also loan them back to Greece as it does with many thousands of other artefacts every single year.”

Elgin Marbles replica creators want British Museum to return originals to Greece | ITV News
An Elgin Marble replica - carved from the same material used on the originals 2,500 years ago - has gone on display in London for the first time.
The 3D replica's creation reopens the conversation on a long-running dispute between the UK and Greece.
The Marbles – a set of sculptures that decorated the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple at the Acropolis in Greece – were taken by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century when he was the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.
The pieces - also known as the Parthenon Marbles - are currently located in the British Museum, despite Athens repeatedly requesting for the UK to relinquish them.
In a bid to find a new way to settle the dispute, the Oxford-based Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA) used 3D cameras and a giant robot to carve a horse's...

It came after the Greek PM said the Parthenon sculptures, removed from Greece by the British diplomat Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, were 'essentially stolen' and urged the UK to return them to Greece, in a BBC interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. But what are the Parthenon marbles and why have they ignited a diplomatic row between the UK and Greece?

Should Britain return the PARTHENON MARBLES to Greece? In this week’s video from History Calling we look at the history of the Elgin Marbles (as they are also called) from antiquity to the present day and ask why are the Parthenon Marbles so controversial and were the Parthenon Marbles stolen or saved?
First though, what are the Parthenon sculptures? Answer; they are a collection of friezes, metopes (meaning sculpted reliefs) and statutes depicting creatures from classical mythology and a long procession of human beings. The history of the Parthenon Marbles dates to the 5th century BC when they were first built as part of the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis in Greece, designed to honour the goddess Athena. Over half the Marbles have since been destroyed due to fires, deliberate destruction and looting and of the half that remain, around 50% are in the British Museum and 50% remain in Greece, with a few fragments in other museums including the Louvre in Paris. The story of how the British Museum acquired its share though is complex and contested and has led many to ask, were the Parthenon Marbles stolen, or saved for posterity?
The Marbles now in England were sent there by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin in the early 1800s, having been taken from the Parthenon, supposedly with the permission of the Ottoman Empire which was then in control of Greece. They were determined to have been acquired legally by a UK Parliamentary Select Committee and in 1816 the British Museum bought them for £35,000 and put them on display.
By the start of the 1830s Greece had acquired its independence and from the 1980s onwards there have been increasingly loud calls from their government and citizens to return the Marbles to their place of origin, making them highly contested objects. The British Museum has refused these calls, stating that the Marbles were brought to England and to that institution legally and that they are not allowed, under the British Museum Act of 1963 to deaccession any of their holdings except under very rare and limited circumstances, which do not apply in this case. They have suggested loans to a Greek museum, but this solution has been refused as Greek authorities do not recognise British ownership of the artefacts. The debate over this contested history continues.

'Time’ to return Elgin Marbles to Greece: Piers Morgan
Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says the debate about whether the Elgin Marbles should leave or remain at the British Museum is almost as old as the marble...
Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says the debate about whether the Elgin Marbles should leave or remain at the British Museum is almost as old as the marbles themselves.
“Those who want them to stay in the British Museum are worried it will open the floodgates,” Mr Morgan said.
“They say countries around the world will begin demanding the return of all our colonial treasures."
Mr Morgan said he sympathised with this opinion in the past but ultimately came down to an argument from the Greek Prime Minister who said it was a matter of where they can best be appreciated.
“The British Museum could still own the marbles but also loan them back to Greece as it does with many thousands of other artefacts every single year.”

Elgin Marbles replica creators want British Museum to return originals to Greece | ITV News

An Elgin Marble replica - carved from the same material used on the originals 2,500 years ago - has gone on display in London for the first time.
The 3D replica's creation reopens the conversation on a long-running dispute between the UK and Greece.
The Marbles – a set of sculptures that decorated the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple at the Acropolis in Greece – were taken by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century when he was the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.
The pieces - also known as the Parthenon Marbles - are currently located in the British Museum, despite Athens repeatedly requesting for the UK to relinquish them.
In a bid to find a new way to settle the dispute, the Oxford-based Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA) used 3D cameras and a giant robot to carve a horse's head into marble provided by Greece, thus creating a near-exact replica of one of the Marbles.

It came after the Greek PM said the Parthenon sculptures, removed from Greece by the British diplomat Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, were 'essentially stolen' and urged the UK to return them to Greece, in a BBC interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. But what are the Parthenon marbles and why have they ignited a diplomatic row between the UK and Greece?
