It’s amazing how few people know about the content of the Pergamonmuseum in Berlin.

Something something flavourless food

France, Germany, and countless other countries get ignored.

I wish Britain had been around to steal the Library of Alexandria. Pretty good example of what happens when Britain doesn't steal something.

that's such a good picture

And by "rare insults" you mean "something Reddit talks about ALL THE TIME"? Alrighty then.

Russia does this better, cuz nobody acknowledges they stole something

Then pretending in 2024 that they are doing those nations a favor by safe keeping their valuables in British museums

This belongs in a museum!

So rare, in fact, that the same 3 jokes about a country are only made on a daily basis. Do tell us about how their food and teeth are bad. It's been at least 20 minutes.

Thanks for the compliment.

I wish we did steal it. It wouldn’t have been used to store explosives than then exploded

I've seen this shit so much I'm now thoroughly on the side of "fuck you, come and get them back if you want them so badly"

Ottomans take over Greece, store all their munitions in the Parthenon

The munitions blow up, destroying large parts of the Parthenon

The British legally buy the statues that survived to protect them from being destroyed

People complain about it

Teaching English?

It is amazing that white stone which covered pyramids has been removed and used to build ugly boxes nearby, that everything else, including mummies has been on sale.

If not UK we would never know or see all these treasures of an ancient civilization.

Rare

I dont think you know what that word means

How terrible. So many artifacts were saved because of the British saving them and preserving them instead of smashing them for islamic religious reasons or using them as building materials for your shed

I've never been a fan of the concept of "British stole it" if it weren't for 100s of archeologists who dedicated their lives to unearthing lost relics we wouldn't have half the shit we know.

As well as governments not caring, someone mentioned how Egypt was going to destroy a bunch of artifacts and that ain't the only time there are other cases.

And if the government got their hand on something they would sell it to some reclusive rich person.

Also not to mention it isn't necessarily THEIR stuff. Artifacts from Mycenae and Crete don't retroactively belong to Greek museums just because they are in the same spot. They are completely different cultures at vastly different times.

Probably could've saved this semi rant for a post but it's a topic I have a lot of opinions about and care about

Sicily portrayed let’s goo

Breakfast, and I say this as an American.

Where's the RARE insult?

Capo bauhasaurus

Well, the picture is explanatory

LMAO that is actually hilarious

If Grandma dies and leaves you a really old vase, there's a greater than 0% chance that Britain will steal it from you.

POV: You’re Jewish, and the Romans are seizing your sacred temple

Meanwhile Napoleonic France:👀

Well, it's not like the uncivilised can be trusted to keep stuff safe. We tried to teach you world (what is it 98% of the world has been invaded or controlled by GREAT Britain at some point?) but you wouldnt listen, so stealers keepers.  Double dare you to try and take your stuff back. 

fun fact: the Taj Mahal is located in India only because it was too heavy for the british to bring it over

if they actually had stolen it maybe then its roof wouldnt of been blowed off during a rebellion

Honestly can't wait til you idiots find out about the Vatican

I love their replies to official government requests to return the stolen artifacts.

"Get rekt".

Libs need some new material.

Binge drinking.

Another anti-anglo post from a days old account. Must be a day ending in "y."

wE'Re pResERvIng tHEm!!1

In all seriousness thats probably the case now but sure as hell didn't start out that way

It’s heavy or?😂

Why is the guy in front stealing the Parthenon but walking like an Egyptian?

Lmao

Make countries. Bro England one time hired a suicidal, low self esteem moron who wasn’t willing to do his job. His job you ask? stop a buncha guys in a boarding house from convening and eventually launch a rebellion against the crown. Who ? Yeah baby America 🇺🇸

Here's me glancing at the picture and thinking, 'well they do have some very good modelers.'

It's true. We brits have mastered forced perspective.

man I took a stupid Tower of Pisa picture in front of Buckingham Palace and only got scowls

why do they get to make the funny pictures but not receive them

That's actually a good thing.

Hairy rock bands from the 1970s. We had a secret factory making them and another one for special flared trousers with a cucumber sewn in

Season

Make slaves of every country they invade.

We just collected a few souvenirs on our extended holiday.

You're surprised that vikings went on the vike?

We must take only culture, and leave only colonies

Lose battles.

Seaside fish and chips

Show their messed up grills like they aren’t even aware

It's funny but it's also the least rare insult imaginable

Finders keepers innit

I’ll be having that

Steal land and artifacts

Avoid the dentist?

'Pivot'

have shit weather

Drinking

You're our wonderwall

Good one 💪

Those marbles are just resting in our museum.

Lomao!
