rather disappointing really.

Words fail me :-(

:O :(

Un-f***ing-believable.

That is just shocking.

How very sad - and enraging, at the same time. Greedy fuckwits.

And in Mexico, Walmart has built on a World Heritage site......Teotihuacán temple site..bit like Tesco building on the area surrounding Stonehenge.

I quite like this thread it opens out the rest of the world, so here is a video from Al Jazeera about looting in Peru.

There are always two sides to the argument, and it struck me whilst watching the video, the looting men chewing their cocaine? the women wanting homes, the issue of looting becomes less so in the face of need.
The need for the archaeologists to have more intelligence, the museums to stock their shelves seem to shrivel beside the need for space to live in....
