Yeah I'm sure the typical rural chink who gets to live a much better life then their grandparents give a shit that some temple they never would have gotten to see anyways was torn down.

Yes. Ancient Mesopotamia's art is only valuable because people give it value, and that's reason enough to protect it. I only hope that the real pieces are in some corrupt Russian oligarchy's vault and will be exhibited by his kids in fifty years.

It was the needless destruction of their cultural heritage that they regret.

They should be protected for the most part. In Weiwei's case I think the art he made was more valuable than a boring old pot.

I like his using ancient pots to protest the destruction and developing over of historical sites willy-nilly.

That's not a loaded question or anything
