700 Archeological Sculptures Were Stolen From South American Countries and Sold in Europe



This is a photo of one of the 700 archeological sculptures recovered by the Spanish police recently. They were in the possession of a couple, in La Rioja. This couple stole historical and archeological sculptures of incalculable value from Peru, Colombia and Ecuador and used to sell them in Europe to different clients, mainly in France.
Money buys everything, even the heritage and culture of the so-called Third World! Who are the true underdeveloped barbarians?
