Archaeology may be one of the world’s most under appreciated subjects.

I believe that the relocation of artifacts is insanely wrong. Although researchers and scientists would wish to study these artifacts, they might tear culture and history away from the place where the artifacts came from. For example a wreck such as the Titanic serves as a tombstone to the 1,500 people who lost their lives on that fateful night. If you were to bring up the ship that would be as if someone decided to dig up a loved one who passed away recently. You would be heartbroken and rather

Many museums around the world display beautiful pieces of art. The Mingei International Museum of art in San Diego’s Balboa Park carries many types of art with a vast category of sculpture.

A question sweeping the nation is whether or not artifacts should be left in their original historical sites or if they should be moved to museums. After much consideration of both sides of the argument, it is clear that artifacts should be left in their original spots. Research led me to understand that moving artifacts to museums will not ensure the safety of them. Additionally, disrupting artifacts can be offensive to the families of those who were lost at that site. Lastly, there are many other
