Plundered Treasures

Here is a list of the Top 10 Plundered Artifacts from Time Magazine 

"History is big business. Plundered art and antiquities trade to the tune of at least $3 billion a year, much to the chagrin of nations struggling to reclaim their lost artifacts. In honor of a recent spat between the Egyptian government and the Louvre museum in Paris over the fate of fresco fragments, TIME examines 10 plundered antiquities and the conflicts they've created."

Read the descriptions of each of the plundered artifacts mentioned in this article and discuss as a class.
