A little ironic for the British Museum to complain about important cultural artifacts being stolen, isn't it?
22All historical items of significance should be 3D scanned into computers and made public. Everything is on borrowed time.
14I'm honestly shocked this hasn't happened already. How can a world class museum not have a centralised inventory of all its items?
6Museums and universities vaults are full of forgotten items that have never been properly analyzed or translated, stuff that should be in the public domain as crowd sourcing the analysis/having people work on AI tools to translate texts would greatly accelerate the work required to preserved these objects...
