No it’s not.
We have about 45 million treasures we took out of Africa and which should be returned immediately with our apologies!Hey Toro.
Hope this makes you happy.

Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers.
So you'll hang on to those artifacts down in Jamestown?
Nothing should be returned, and no apologies made.
Look what the Taliban did to the antiquities they had access to.
The Elgin Marbles which once adorned the capitols of the Parthanon is an interesting case which to this day is an issue between Greece and the UK. Lord Elgin bought the marbles from the Ottoman pasha of Athens, packed them up and sent them to London. In doing so, they were legally purchased, technically. Naturally, Greece contends that said pasha had no right to sell its heritage, certainly nothing so significant. Britain contends that the marbles would probably not be preserved if they had remained on the Acropolis, and of course their purchase was legitimate.
The new Acropolis Museum has allotted space to display the marbles when and if they are returned.
