SOMEONE KNEW HOW TO “GET AHEAD”.

It is interesting to consider items of historical significance that have been lost to history. I’d venture to guess that only a small fraction of these losses are known, while the vast majority are unknown, and therefore… lost unknowingly?

Honestly, I’m not sure whether to view the idea of these “unknown lost” items as a positive or negative thing. If never found and recognized, these items may never occupy a museum exhibit and therefore be enjoyed and treasured by all. However, if never found and recognized, these items are also protected from destructive human tendencies such as the above ordered destruction of all royal tombs.

Is it a paradox to think that man’s most valuable and meaningful treasures must be protected from man?

An artifact of this importance should be kept in a museum to preserve and protect it. The mummified head of King Henri IV makes me question what other artifacts of importance have been stolen and passed down through generations and/or sold in auctions.

This article makes me wonder what things that were destroyed in 2020 will be resurrected for placement in a museum.
