How fascinating to learn where everything came originated from, & to discover that stealing these artworks is what saved them in the end!!!!

Yes I absolutely agree. Another favorite example has a Greek Serpent Statue, Egyptian Obelisks, and A Mosque opened in 1600 on the grounds of an ancient hippodrome while at the other end of all of this is the Hagia Sophia. All of this in the center of modern Istanbul...
