| Comments | There are various political and jurisdictional debates over the home destination of an exhibit in Amsterdam called 'The Crime: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea' with Russia and Ukraine vying for a claim to the Scythian treasure. Either way, it seems Crimea, where the hoard originates from, will be silenced by bigger powers who want the hoard in their museums. |
