What's the opinion on certain high risk countries where there's a high likelihood of the artifacts simply being destroyed? If I remember correctly ISIS and other similar organizations have burned or bombed several historical sites before.

We have to be extremely wary of people who cite that because it's so easily used as a justification for artifact theft and can have deep roots in racism.

That's the question. Where is the line between racism and artifact protection?

[–] lath@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Presumably somewhere between racism and artifact protection.
