There's a big market out there in stolen artifacts of any and every kind. You can never tell who is out there buying these things on the usual sites. So much for Indiana Jones saying "This belongs in a museum!".

let's be honest, the British took things that would have otherwise been destroyed, like in Iraq with ISIS. Museums are to preserve things and it is a European invention.
