Our Fake History

In this bonus episode of Our Fake History, host Sebastian Major answers listener questions, primarily from the Patreon community, related to the recent series on the Parthenon Marbles. The questions cover a range of topics, including the repatriation of artifacts to countries with objectionable rulers, the connection between Elgin's actions and Greek nationalism, the display and ownership of the marbles, the concept of cultural exchange between museums, and the hypothetical scenario of Nazis stealing the marbles. Sebastian provides detailed responses, drawing on historical context and ethical considerations, and also promotes the podcast's Patreon community and an upcoming trip to Greece.
