A Yale professor, Hiram Bingham, plundered stuff from Macchu Pichu in the early 20s. They are still on display here in New Haven at Yale's Peabody Museum. The government of Peru has demanded them back and is now suing. Yale has its freaking nerve hanging onto these treasures.
I get so steamed by this and by England holding onto the marbles. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's an outrage and it's going on now and in one case in MY OWN CITY.
