>Chinese authorities are calling for a heavy punishment for the American man charged with stealing a thumb from an ancient terracotta warrior statue that was on display at a museum in Pennsylvania, and compensation for the damage caused to the US$4.5 million relic.
>Michael Rohana, 24, was charged earlier this month with breaking off and stealing the left thumb of the 2,000-year-old sculpture from the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on December 21.
>While the US museum has apologised for the incident, an official from the Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Centre, which arranged for the loan of 10 of the statues, condemned the act and said Rohana should be handed a severe penalty, Beijing Youth Daily reported
This is what happens when you have no real history.

kek stupid chinks

Thumbs down to whoever did that.

stop it

To be fair, the mutt who stole it probably thought it was made out of chocolate or something
Aiden Jones

I didn't know I was going to start laughing my ass off from early morning. Oh I love you.
Owen Cox
Have you been to Philadelphia?
Cooper Cruz
I'm torn. On the one hand, I hate gormless plebs who think it's 'funny' to fuck with priceless artifacts and want to see them suffer, but on the other hand, I really want to tell the chinks to fuck off.
Why not both?
Jason Nguyen
...
Ryder Baker
don't they have thousands of them anyway?
Easton Hall
Well them chinks should stop reking foreign artifacts like in egypt
Kevin Harris
Fucking hell every time. You always have to live up to the stereotype. Only an American would feel entitled enough to vandalise something older than his country for personal gain.
Brayden Flores
>Heavy punishment Like what? Harvest his organs and ship them to China?
Also this, Chinks can fuck off.
Jose Gray
Tjat's exactly my thought. It's ok if chink tourists vandalise ancient artefacts somewhere else in the world, but it's not ok if someone else does the same thing to their shit. Chinks should be shot
Robert Baker
What history does Malta have? A few sieges? A few christian orders?
Sure there is something. But even most irrelevant states have at least that much history. It's nothing compared to the USA.
Fuck off. I'd steal Stone Henge if I could.
Stop being a cock-sucker
Nicholas Powell
You're not worthy of a serious response.

Owen Nguyen
>You're not worthy of a serious response. I'd still like to point out to the burger, if I may, that 'cocksucker' is one word and should not be hyphenated.
Ryder Ross
Go ahead.
Levi James
Alright.
Cocksucker is one word, you twat.
Alexander Davis
Why would you do that? I assume that if you go to a museum to look at these things you take a certain interest in chinese culture and thus at least have a little respect.
Mason Carter
>Americans >Respect
Choose one, and only one.
kek
Leo Jackson
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm who should I rob today... The liquor store? The bank? I know, how about I take something from a museum!
Alexander Watson
Fuck off somali
Charles Morales
The Terracotta Soldiers are a hoax anyway. They're fake.
>According Jean Lévi, a French sinologist, research director at CNRS (French National Scientific Research Center, the terracotta army is a fake. In his most recent book, “La Chine est un cheval et l’Univers une idée” published in 2010 October the7th at “Maurice Nadeau” editions (ISBN 978-2-86231-215-6) Jean Lévi writes, page 17, “These statues are a fake. The famous funerary army, when it was exhumed, was just a heap of charred rubbishes a mix of dust and fragments.(…) Even with the most modern techniques, it would be impossible to piece together again a single warrior, and Chinese archeologists did not have a thorough knowledge of the most modern techniques. The statues were rebuilt, not according an original one, whose it is impossible to know anything, but according the stubborn executives of Culture Ministry imaginations of a First Emperors Funerary Statue.(…) It is a modern work, made on assembly lines by contemporary slaves, in XX century kilns, under control of Maoist bureaucrats”.
1) The army has been discovered during the Cultural Revolution, at a time when Mao Zedong was comparing himself to Qin Shihuang.
2) No mention of this army is done in the very detailed description of Qin Shihuang's tomb made by Sima Qian.
3) The soldiers are 1.76 to 1.96 meters tall, which is much taller than men at this time.
4) The style of the soldiers is much more modern than the ones found in other burial of the same time, or even newer like the Han dynasty army shown in Xianyang Xianyang museum
5) The soldiers are amazingly preserved after more than 2000 years, no other terracotta artifact has been so well preserved.
6) It is estonishing that the tomb of Qin Shihuang has still not been searched, as if the authority didn't want to see that the style of the artifacts found there is very different than the terracotta warriors
Nolan Hall
Stop embarrassing yourselves further, mutts.
Jaxson Johnson
Trying to justify vandalism now?
Hudson Nelson
The biggest reason why no one has the guts to bring this up is because they don't want to get blacklisted by the Communist Chinese Party. Imagine that, being a researcher of Chinese history/culture, but being banned from entering China or having your reputation intentionally ruined by the country that you specialize in. That is why no expert on China dares bring this up.
Filipinos aren't even human. Bug off.
Luke Martinez
>what is thermoluminescence dating Does that require approval from the Chinese authorities though?
Andrew Diaz
Damn you're one dumb pinoy. That was only done on pottery shards and dirt, not on the actual soldiers.
Liam Scott
Do the terracotta soldiers all have "Made in China" stickers on them? I think that would be a dead giveaway that they're fake.
Joshua Reed
did he use the thumb as a buttplug though? I mean why even steal it otherwise
John Richardson
What do you expect? An american seens someone else's heritage and must destroy it!
Aaron Long

Landon Flores
Mate your area may have a lengthy history but so does everywhere else on the fucking planet. Get with reality: Malta is fucking irrelevant. Your pathetic pride in something which no longer exists is part of the reason why shitty little European countries with now long dead empires are also nothing but glorified EU welfare states. The countries which make history are the ones who stop living in the past. In a thousand years from now, the United States of Burgerstan will actually be mentioned in the history books, unlike Malta.
There is nothing more fucking pathetic than shitty little irrelevant European regions trying to act as though they have any real historical importance in the modern era. It's like an old man trying to boast about his football prowess back in the day. Yeah, that's nice but you've done fuck all for the past sixty five years so shut the fuck up and try not to shit yourself at dinner later.

Ian Cooper
That was a reality check, but let's be honest here: you are fully aware of just how true it rung. That's why you're arsehurt enough to bitch like a teenage as a kneejerk response. Like it or not, the USA and China are the most important countries on the planet at the moment. What the world was doing hundreds of years ago is irrelevant because it took humanity hundreds of thousands of years to create electric heating and then only a few decades to send people into space. By comparison, prior to the past hundred or two hundred years, humans have achieved fuck all. The important shit is happening now, not when Romans ruled.
Get over your ego.
Zachary Powell
Oh, I'm so asshurt. I can't handle the pain!

You are irrelevant. Your country is irrelevant. Your language is irrelevant. Your history is irrelevant. It's not about you, mate. That is the entire point.

because it's not out of malice. also chinese tourists should be punished just as harshly if they did the same thing out of malice

can you not read?
Easton Ward
inb4 the thief was actually a researcher and he's now trying to prove that the statues are contemporary replicas and china's reaction just means they're fucking afraid he publishes condemning evidence.
Nicholas Campbell
And they should be held accountable for their actions if they expect other people to be.
Evan Collins
yes, when did i say they shouldn't be?

During the Anti-Rightist Campaign in the late 50s, Mao reportedly said "They say Qin Shi Huang buried 400 scholars alive. We've buried 40,000. So please don't compare us to Qin Shi Huang, we've outdone him a hundredfold."
