      > An auction house has been forced to withdraw human and ancestral remains from a sale following criticism from native groups and museums.

      I bet we could earn the exchequer a few quid if we dug up former kings of England and auctioned off the bits left. They aren’t using them anymore.

      No details on how they were originally acquired. Were they stolen? Or purchased, or given as gifts. Without knowing that it’s hard to judge whether the people complaining have a point or not.

      Morals go out the window when it comes to making a quick buck it appears

      Shrunken heads, awesome. I wouldn’t mind one, could you imagine.
      “Hey you want to come check out my shrunken head*

      I don’t know if that’s ever a good ask now I’ve read it back but, hey ho.

      Another example of people being offended on behalf of others.

      As grim as they are it’s an interesting historical item

      So thankful I was able to make many memorable visits to the Pitt Rivers museum back in the day and see all the looted artefacts before the world went into woke overdrive…the shrunken heads and the witchcraft dolls were the highlight for us kids.
