The Elgin Marbles are an interesting case because with arguements for both sides. I think the Turks didn't really care, it's not their history after all. Then there was issues over the legality of the permission granted and the scope, did Elgin exceed that. The British government did a review and concluded it was all good - not surprising 😂 And of course, there's the elephant in the room as @alonicus mentioned, if Elgin didn't take them, they wouldn't have lasted any longer. Fun times
