Reply to TIL: The famous Alaskan sled dog "Balto" was preserved in taxidermy and is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Ohio. by alex6219
I once officiated a wedding in this venue next to the statue of Balto. The couple wanted it there and wanted Balto to be present for it. Sweet wedding venue

Reply to TIL tomb raiding is a big problem in China that looters sometimes find historically significant sites first. For instance the tomb of the famed 3 Kingdoms-era general, Cao Cao, was discovered in 2008 after police inspected the stolen goods of a bunch of robbers, who then led them to an unknown tomb. by Khysamgathys
Ah yes something that definitely is only a big problem in China. It's definitely not a problem in other countries with rich and storied histories. Definitely not something the British did in their conquests around the world. Or the Spanish. Definitely not something done all over the middle east. Also definitely not something that has happened all over the US and Canada. Ignore all the ancient stuff in private collections all over the US and Europe surely that was all donated or acquired through proper channels. Also ignore museums all over England full of relics from other countries. Yep only the Chinese are looting nobody else!
