Literally just watched a video from Casual Geographic on this exact subject, like, only a day or two ago.

Father always said I had no confidence — so I became a geneticist where I would fit right in.

There is a key for — on my phone. Just hold down the - key and it pops up as an option. I use it all the time.

For it to be scientifically accurate of a comparison, the ratio of weight:human needs to be equal to that of rider:horse, not a direct flip.

This is why I always donate my finished books to my local library. I don’t need them and, if I want to read them again, I can always just go check it out from the library.

I would assume there would be arguments around transporting them increasing the chances of it breaking. It would really only make sense to move these back to their country of origin and have them remain there to minimize potential points of failure. The rarer the artifact itself (another rusted out sword or plain clay cup versus a one of a kind manuscript whose pages have become incredibly delicate) the less their respective owners are going to want it to be moved.

Instead, we should be allowing more people the ability to travel and take time to go explore other cultures in their country of origin instead of trying to transport priceless artifacts across the globe.
