Oh no…..what have WE become??!! We set our sights higher for rare treasures, not realizing how much we are hurting those who forged and protected them in the first place…
@laofuzi How can we call ourselves ponies with a fine taste in valuable culture, if we kept removing them from their origins and propping them up as our own trophies, without giving credit to those ancient ponies who made them valuable in the first place?
@PhoenixFlambe
Whether our intentions are to portray them as wonders of history, safe-keep them at our private homes to gaze and admire, or sell them to the highest bidder in a black market auction house, this doesn’t change the fact that both Daring Do AND Dr Caballeronstole the sacred treasures that kept the Tenochtitlan cultural identity whole…
Now that I’ve heard his excuse, I’m curious; what other creatures served as artifact guardians? I wonder if they all look like him, or they’re entirely different beasts altogether.
job protect the artifacts not people
Actually, with 800 years of unrelenting, sweltering heat, would there be anyone or any jungle left to protect?
well would you try to steal from a place that had a wall of burn to death around it and over it?
Cultures that can incinerate people who steal their treasures are less likely to be stolen from, as it turns out.
He probably wanted to make it much harder for treasure hunters to grab their artifacts
