The British Media talks about “slaves” who built the Parthenon and emphasizes that the Sculptures belong to England
With highly provocative and anecdotal claims, the Spectator expresses its opposition to the return of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece.
The British Media speaks of “slaves” who built the Parthenon, emphasizes that the Sculptures belong to England, avoiding to “remind” how Lord Elgin transported them from Greece without permission and invokes as an argument that at that time, they were “ruins of the Ottoman Empire”.
“The legality of Greek claims to the Marmaras is dubious at best. The Parthenon frieze, built mainly by slaves in 500 BC, was allegedly “stolen” by Elgin in 1802 while he was the British ambassador in Constantinople. The Parthenon at that time was a neglected ruin in the Ottoman Empire, the then internationally recognized ruler of present-day Greece. The Parthenon had been used as an ammunition depot and had suffered serious damage from explosions,” the article states, which not only attempts to falsify history and facts, but even goes so far as to question the legitimacy of Greece’s claim, where they were created and built, as one of the great architectural wonders of the ancient era.
But the columnist of the Spectator is not satisfied with the above claims about the Parthenon. He even goes so far as to question whether today’s Greeks are descendants of the Ancient Greeks.
