"More visitors, more loss. Less visitors, big loss. That archaeologist needs to get his head out of the ivory tower some more.”

Well, from capitalistic point of view...sure, big loss. However, people with the slightest sense of reason, or respect, should know better than go on an cut off a piece of a relic. I mean seriously, what are they thinking?!?! Most importantly, who do they think they are?
Think of it this way:
Your family needs money, and they have really old artifacts that would make a nice museum. You could charge for parking maybe, earn something for the family. Everything goes well, but you get tourists, that think they have the right to not only take some articles but damage the rest in doing so.....

Wouldn’t you be upset????
