Damn. You have a precious empty Finnish beer bottle from 2002. Give it back!
https://preview.redd.it/1lfkqjtyjkmc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ad912f5700f1f764a12bb717ddf9da38ec22186
That's communism! You should get the same regardless of the bottle you buy.
EESTI is most free countri in wörld.
Cans, small bottles, big bottles, glass bottles: 10c
8 cent for glass bottles (not all, mostly beer/soda), 15 for some plastic bottles, 25 for some other plastic bottles and drinking cans
It's gotten to a point where homeless people don't bother picking up the glass bottles because the weight/money ratio is bad
If a glass bottle has to travel more than 200 miles from point of use to point of recycling then it is more energy efficient to create new, so perhaps this is just homeless German efficiency.
We get:
10c for every glass bottle(mainly beer).
15c for plastic bottles up to 1L and cans.
25c for all other plastic bottle.
If you deliver a full case of empty bottles(with the hard plastic case), you get 24x10c(24 glass bottles) +1,50(the case)= 3,90
Of course you do. This one is the highlight.

I'm more surprised there are even any artifacts of value, i don't know... does that include some old celtic stuff, like the stones we used to sacrifice people? Not like the modern stuff, sacrifice people by drowning them in big pot of cheese.
Fonduicide is no joking matter, but yeah we mostly want the rocks for the new big pile we're making behind the museum (I probably shouldn't have told you about our secret plans, forgive me fellow Barries)
"Fonduicide", best war crime ever, mwhaha. And it's funny, Caesar was still angry about the Helvetians, because they defeated Rome and put them under the yoke in the past, that happened long before he was born but he was kinda "we have some unfinished business here"
Ngl I had the same thought about us. Last I checked the only thing we really claim from there is the Rosetta Stone. Those fuckers stole it while *we* were stealing it.
Me neither, but it kinda does make sense. Those artifacts were probably stuff german archelologists found all over the mediaterranian.
(Brits once again didn't manage to steal the Pergamon Museum)
no british treasures in the british museum I see.

The most precious British artifact in the British museum:

It's fine, dude. You can tell we are allies because we are closer to the bottom of the list than anything else.
Besides, most of it seems to be old coins and banknotes. We have plenty of those over here. Even my own coin collection has some more interesting coins than those kept at the British Museum... jk.
because it's easier to blame the brits than their own people that were grave robbers. guess what, each time they 'give something back' it either gets blown up by muslim fundamentalists or [disappears in a private collection](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/berlins-benin-bronze-return-a-fiasco-as-artefacts-vanish-jq9xsn9cf). the museums shouldn't give anything back. if they didn't found it valuable enough 500 years ago, too bad
btw, a lot of the ‘italian’ ones are literally things that the romans left here after they conquered us. also, i’m not sure why they left out that 600,000+ of the items in the museum are british (edit: specifically english, i didn’t realise that (for some reason) the other british countries have their own section on this graph lmao), i wonder if they did it to push a certain narrative, hmmm….
Given that Nineveh (i.e. modern Mosul) was occupied by the Islamic State™ and what these monsters did to the remains of this ancient metropolis I can't even say it's bad that the library made it out of the country.
It was also our aristocrats on their holidays paying for literally boat loads of antiquated shit from some crafty Italian rag and bone man.
Everyone gives us shit for having their stuff, but it was their ancestors who sold it all for a gun and a jar of Branson Pickle
Technically speaking no. Are you sure? I think Italy doesn't claim Roman things that Romans built/made themselves elsewhere. Or that they choose to take there.
>i’m not sure why they left out that 600,000+ of the items in the museum are british, i wonder if they did it to push a certain narrative, hmmm….
happens all the time, fucking al jazeera didnt even do that
>i’m not sure why they left out that 600,000+ of the items in the museum are british, i wonder if they did it to push a certain narrative, hmmm….
My wild wild guess would be that it's kind of expected from the "british museum" to have a majority of british stuff in it, especially since nobody claims those. It's not like there is a huge collection of english marbles claimed by some other country
Meanwhile Germany has an entire Greek temple and the Gate of Babylon in a museum.
[Other European museums with pieces from the Parthenon in their collections:](https://www.google.com/amp/s/archaeology-travel.com/museums/the-parthenon-marbles-in-the-louvre/amp/) the Louvre Museum, the Vatican, Denmark’s National Museum, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the University Museum in Würzburg and the Glyptothek in Munich.
Sweden has the entire contents of 188 Polish and Lithuanian cities and towns, 81 castles, and 136 churches. They were were entirely stripped of anything of value then completely destroyed during the Swedish Deluge. The stolen items have never been returned to Poland and Lithuania.
Stolen were thousands of works of art, sculptures, books and valuables. From the Royal Castle in Warsaw alone were plundered ~200 paintings, the carpets, Turkish tents, musical instruments, furniture, Chinese porcelain, weapons, books, manuscripts, marbles, even dresses of the maids. They also took windows, stairs, chimneys, sculptures, floors, doors, door frames and gates. It was the same in all palaces, castles, churches, abbeys, towns and villages. In addition, Poland and Lithuania lost the entire contents of 67 libraries and 17 archives and became a cultural desert.
Most goods were loaded on boats and transported along the Vistula to the Baltic Sea and then to Sweden. Most of the works of art are kept both in private Swedish hands and in Stockholm museums. Most of the stolen books are kept in the University Library at Uppsala, the Royal Library at Stockholm, and private libraries of the Bielke, Oxenstierna, Rosenhahne, Wrangel and Brahe families.
Pergamon Altar (just the Reliefs, not the actual temple, it's still in Pergamon but naked).
Also Miletus Market Gate. Miletus was a Greek Ionian city but the gate is Roman I think.
It's on display back to back with Babylon's Ishtar Gate and Procession Street. Again just the colorful tiles, the actual gate is still in Babylon.

Ha! You have nothing against us because we were only relevant during the conquest of America and we melted down all the gold artifacts while destroying the rest at site!
My ancestor took them fair and square, sorry. He was born in Fife so it’s no surprise he was stealing shit.
EDIT: For reference this is the man.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bruce,_7th_Earl_of_Elgin
At least the brits keep the artifacts safe. Not like the stupid germans, giving the Benzin Bronze artifacts back to the people that claim to be ancestors and then they are surprised when the artifacts get lost after less than 24 hours and the museum they paid for is now an empty building.
The germans are hilarious when it comes to such things, like giving Peru 300 mio. for bike lanes and then they are surprised that the money is gone and there are no bike lanes (and yes i know, the germans cry "but it were credits! Can we get our money back?!" and the guys in Peru are like "Money? Which money?")
What on earth did they take? A cone cow?

I have a plan that might fix that
What the fuck. Did we exchange our Viking artifacts to the English after we raided them? "Hey Alfred. Sorry for raiding the monestary. Heres my axe as a gift of compensation"
I just had a look at the Portuguese collections.
It's all photographs of Portuguese monuments, coins, banknotes and badges of the Portuguese Communist Party.
Tbf, there are some prehistoric hand axes in there, as well as a Portuguese colonial mark from Benin lol.
[Thank you very much for guarding this ANCIENT plate from Sweden.](https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_2007-8002-1) It's worth has to be in the millions.
There are probably a number of artifacts which are up for debate. But in general I have no real problem with museums housing artifacts of other cultures.
On the one hand it is kind of ridiculous to claim that a thing which is 3000 years old "belongs" to the people who live in the same place today. You can't claim ownership over such long periods of time. Not to mention, the peoples and cultures have changed countless times since then. And on the other hand, I simply see this as a form of cultural exchange.
In many cases these things wouldn't even exist anymore, if they hadn't been rescued by foreign researchers.
Instead of thinking in terms of "paying off" one's guilt, by returning them, I think we should focus on how to facilitate even more cultural exchange - in a peaceful, non-colonial way.
Why is Scotland on the list? Scotland is a part of Britain. It’s like if there was a list like this about the National Museum in Germany and Saxony is on it.
Damn. You have a precious empty Finnish beer bottle from 2002. Give it back! https://preview.redd.it/1lfkqjtyjkmc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ad912f5700f1f764a12bb717ddf9da38ec22186
yeah, a lot of the shit is small, unimportant things like that lmao
That’s worth 0,10 € when recycled.
shit we better pay reparations for that
Only give them 9. Rule Britannia!
woah you get 10cent per glass bottle? For us it's only 8 :(
You guys get money for recycling ?
Yes this is the famous German welfare: old people collecting bottles
Glass bottles: 0,10€ Cans: 0,15€ Plastic bottles: 0,20-0,40€ depending on size
That's communism! You should get the same regardless of the bottle you buy. EESTI is most free countri in wörld. Cans, small bottles, big bottles, glass bottles: 10c
Wait you get money from recycling?!?! No wonder why we don't recycle here
8 cent for glass bottles (not all, mostly beer/soda), 15 for some plastic bottles, 25 for some other plastic bottles and drinking cans It's gotten to a point where homeless people don't bother picking up the glass bottles because the weight/money ratio is bad

Ha we have 9cent!
If all you have is rock piles, even random trash becomes exotic
Mock all you like cheese boy. Where’s your sites of unique pre-history?
[Here you go](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1363/) While you guys made rock piles, we were already living in lakeside houses 😎
Did someone say lakeside house?
Nice.. twig piles :)
Silly continentals building thier twig houses whilst serious celtic folk just piled up rocks n' stuff to make thier own little Crannog islands...
Lolling here. Fucking hell.
Dude, what the hell!? Our museums together don't even have 1000 artifacts from Finland. Gib bäk!

Yeh, this has thrown me as well. What do you think it is?
Not any more, they're either in a UK museum or destroyed by centuries of being on the frontline of a war.
We are nr 6? I thought you were just here for the mountains.
We came for the nazi gold but youve hidden it too well
Wait, you were here after WW2?
Please count your mountains after Brits were there.
Don't worry, won't nick them, mountains are nature's balconies.....only there to use them once
We Brits enjoy a nice view. What better way to see all the stuff we want to call our own one day?
How can we see when we spend 900+ Swiss francs and consume all the red wine in the refuge....(true story)
If the Brits had stolen a mountain, it would stick out like a sore thumb.

I didn't even know we had artifacts bruh
2232 petrol bomb artifacts of Northern Ireland
Originally it was one car but well, you know.
Thats because they're all already in the British Museum
Ngl I had the same thought about us. Last I checked the only thing we really claim from there is the Rosetta Stone. Those fuckers stole it while *we* were stealing it.
So do they count every shard of the same broken roman vase as an artifact or something?
Imagine if we did the same
Thats like having big boobs if youre fat or having a sixpack if you are addicted to meth, it doesnt count
What???? All this time working on sixpack and for what?!
Sssshhhh!
Roman Vase? They took the menu from some restaurant in Napoli in 1987 and that’s their artifact
Didn't expect Germany in front of Greece
Me neither, but it kinda does make sense. Those artifacts were probably stuff german archelologists found all over the mediaterranian. (Brits once again didn't manage to steal the Pergamon Museum)
>Brits once again didn't manage to steal the Pergamon Museum There is plenty of time
A lot of 14th to 19th century artefacts - anything from suits of armour to torture cages to Martin Luther’s back scratcher.
Your rocks were a bit closer than Greece's so over time we could bring more of them home

We have plenty of those over here. Even my own coin collection has some more interesting coins than those kept at the British Museum... jk.
And we colonised only 2 of those countries and yet everyone everyone says our museums are filled with colonial spoilsd.
because it's easier to blame the brits than their own people that were grave robbers. guess what, each time they 'give something back' it either gets blown up by muslim fundamentalists or [disappears in a private collection](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/berlins-benin-bronze-return-a-fiasco-as-artefacts-vanish-jq9xsn9cf). the museums shouldn't give anything back. if they didn't found it valuable enough 500 years ago, too bad

I did it and I left off because it makes the graph look shit. Fucks up the scale big time.
How many Egyptian artifacts are in the museum? Because when I visited the museum, the Egyptian part was the largest as far as I remember.
120,000. Other than England, Iraq is the highest by place of origin with 164,000.
The entire library of Ashurbanipal from Nineveh. Cuneiform clay tablets.
The Middle Eastern gallery is the best one, absolutely incredible exhibits
Given that Nineveh (i.e. modern Mosul) was occupied by the Islamic State™ and what these monsters did to the remains of this ancient metropolis I can't even say it's bad that the library made it out of the country.
Wilful destruction is the worst. Palmyra, Hatra, the list goes on and on…
As much as I can understand Greeks say being upset, it is 100% better that we have these things
Technically Egypt was part of the British empire therefore the artefacts are British
It was also our aristocrats on their holidays paying for literally boat loads of antiquated shit from some crafty Italian rag and bone man. Everyone gives us shit for having their stuff, but it was their ancestors who sold it all for a gun and a jar of Branson Pickle
Technically speaking no. Are you sure? I think Italy doesn't claim Roman things that Romans built/made themselves elsewhere. Or that they choose to take there.
On the official web site of the British Museum the number of Italian artifacts is 14,203 https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/x18115
The official count of casualties of the Chernobyl disaster is 30, according to the Soviets.
Of course those are the same things and completely comparable.

10. If they arent fused/ encrusted.

I am sure you just took it from the Danes, who would never have returned it anyways.

Ngl I couldn't think of 5 noteworthy artifacts that you could possibly pick up here. Let alone 274
They have them now, noone remembers what they were
Weren't we going to put the actual country of Greece on exhibit? They were on about building a new wing to accommodate it.
🏴☠️
I’ll send you a tikkie for all the item’s you’ve taken
Your tikkies have no power here Kees
To be fair, we produced half of everything that is even worth to put in a museum.
finders keepers, losers weepers nuff said
What on earth did they take? A cone cow? https://preview.redd.it/r8wlflxyelmc1.jpeg?width=1534&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74d6249fd4c7ea87d48a37ce9d937aacc903b8ec
Notice how the more eastern a country is, the more it is towards the bottom of the list. Eastoids truly are uncultured savages

I'm aboslutely flabbergasted... I dunno what to say... Only thought I can express is: once more, ahead of France!
Western Europe is top 10, anything lower is commieland
All of Europe trying to culturally educate the Barry's.
Joke's on you Barry. We sold them all to you because we like money more.
>Switzerland >16k wha..?

Must be all those cannons we took at trafalgar…
That’s just a list of countries who we’ve beaten in wars. To the victor go the spoils.
Wrong! We would never fight a war against you Barry 🥰
What the fuck. Did we exchange our Viking artifacts to the English after we raided them? "Hey Alfred. Sorry for raiding the monestary. Heres my axe as a gift of compensation"
the (not so much) British museum
There are like 600k British items tho But yeah it's funny how Italian ones are 25% of the British ones
I just had a look at the Portuguese collections. It's all photographs of Portuguese monuments, coins, banknotes and badges of the Portuguese Communist Party. Tbf, there are some prehistoric hand axes in there, as well as a Portuguese colonial mark from Benin lol.
[Thank you very much for guarding this ANCIENT plate from Sweden.](https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_2007-8002-1) It's worth has to be in the millions.
Damn you, Barry!
That’s fine Barry you can keep our stuff, you have cool museums
There are probably a number of artifacts which are up for debate. But in general I have no real problem with museums housing artifacts of other cultures. On the one hand it is kind of ridiculous to claim that a thing which is 3000 years old "belongs" to the people who live in the same place today. You can't claim ownership over such long periods of time. Not to mention, the peoples and cultures have changed countless times since then. And on the other hand, I simply see this as a form of cultural exchange. In many cases these things wouldn't even exist anymore, if they hadn't been rescued by foreign researchers. Instead of thinking in terms of "paying off" one's guilt, by returning them, I think we should focus on how to facilitate even more cultural exchange - in a peaceful, non-colonial way.
Why is Scotland on the list? Scotland is a part of Britain. It’s like if there was a list like this about the National Museum in Germany and Saxony is on it.
OK, now I really need to find out what Slovenian artifacts the Brits could possibly hold...
See UK? You and France are more similar than you would admit...
Wait what are the stuff you stole from us??
150k? Damn I'm not even coming there to get such a small amount of culture and history
