The British Museum Is an Educational Institution

There have been attempts to persuade the british museum to release the tablots. An attempt has been made after attempt, and letters have gone and been ignored. Lewis mc nought's magazine, returning heritage called this the single most important restitution in ethiopia's history. None of the returned items hold the cultural or religious significance of the tablets. The true reason for the refusal to turn the tabots over seems to be a fear of setting a precedent that could lead to further plundering by other nations.
