Should The British Museum Return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece?

In 1799 Thomas Bruce, the Seventh Earl of Elgin, was appointed ambassador by the British government to the Ottoman Court of Turkey, which at that time ruled Greece. Within twenty years of his appointment many of the carvings from the Parthenon, the Temple of the goddess Athena, were transported to London.

The marbles can be seen in the Duveen Gallery of the British Museum, which has been open since 1962.
