The Truth About the Elgin Marbles

by Richard Eldred
25 April 2025 7:00 AM

In this Special Episode of the Sceptic, Laurie speaks to Dr Mario Trabucco della Toretta, classical archaeologist and writer.

Laurie and Mario discuss the British Museum and why it’s the best in the world, its magnificent collection and where it came from, why the ‘decolonise’ lobby is so wrong to claim it’s all ‘looted’, the truth about the Elgin Marbles, why the arguments for repatriating them don’t stack up, what’s behind the anti-Westernism of the ‘decolonisers’ and how we can fight back.

NOTE: Premium subscribers will notice that this is an extract from the premium section of Episode 34. We’re sorry that there is no new episode today. This is due to circumstances beyond our control. The Sceptic will return next week as usual.

The RSC recently spent a small fortune looking at decolonising Hamlet. Hamlet was written in 1600. Our 1st colony wasn’t established until 1607.

Wow, it just shows how pathetic these virtue signalling entities and governments have become!

I didn’t know that. The RSC is funded by taxpayers. One more thing to add to the long list of things our tax money should not be spent on. If people think “the arts” are so important they can put their hands in their own pockets, not in mine.

Very interesting listening to an enthusiastic Italian eloquently defending British cultural history. Have all the British historians been ‘cancelled’ or converted to anti-Imperialism?

Why don’t they put the Elgin marbles and the Benin bronzes on a big space rocket and fuck them all off into space? My electric bill is a bigger concern !

Superb watching. It was a timely reminder, Dr Mario said that the vultures are circling over the dying body of Western Civilisation because good people don’t do anything. Well, that is a wake up call for us British. Thank you for enlightening us.
