Shrunken heads found in smugglers raid in Turkiye

Turkish police in Izmir have seized hundreds of artefacts during a raid on smugglers. They include Ottoman manuscripts, Byzantine coins and even 500-year-old shrunken heads from the South American Jivaro tribe.

Turkey: We will return the heads to the rightful owners
British Museum: Am i a joke to you?

"Before they're returned to their countries of origin"
Britain: we don't do that here

One thing I respect about Turkey is they actually show respect to other cultures and countries. Completely opposite to what some of our news channels do here in Canada/the West which still portray non-whites as lesser humans.

Turky : Returned the shrunked head to the country of origin
British : Fool!!

The Jivaro people did this to their Spanish colonizers. Those were their enemy. 👌

Another evidence how savage Westerners were. This practice of shrinking natives' severed head was very common only until a couple of hundred years ago.
