History goes on without our opinions - the fact remains, the Horrible Colonialists saved the Ife bronzes, an inconvenient chain of events for your side of the argument. Ban me if you like, repeat this old and obviously untrue shibboleth - Frobenius saved the bronzes.

... I sure wish the people so upset about the theft and misappropriation of Colonial Artifacts praised the British Museum's salvation of Asia's cultural artifacts from the utter destruction of the Red Guard's obliteration thereof.
How about a round of applause for Lord Elgin for saving the Parthenon sculptures from Athens' corrosive smog?
a round of applause??
The British "cleaned" the Parthenon scupltures too invasively, thereby damaging them, and we're supposed to applaud them?! -
