BBC: The criminal trade in ancient objects-2

There are arguments both for and against repatriating artefact, and Victoria takes a middle-of-the road approach. If you describe something as middle-of-the road, you mean it's not extreme and is acceptable to most people. 

Whether ancient artefacts find their way back to their original homes or are displayed in museums remains an ongoing debate, but either way it's good to know that objects of culture and beauty are being preserved for future generations. OK, I think it's time to reveal the answer to my question. I asked what the Egytologist Howard Carter discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. Was it a) the Rosetta Stone, b) the Mask of Tutankhamun, or c) the Ark of the Covenant?

And I said, "The Mask of Tutankhamun".

And you, Beth...were right. 

OK. Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with argefact- any object made by humans which is of historical interest. 

If something is looted, it's stolen by force. 

A game changer is a new element which, when introduced into a situation, completely changeds it. 

A bottleneck is a problem that delays a process or stops it from progressing. 

To repatriate something means to return it to the country it came from.

And finally, the adjective middle-of-the-road describes things which are not extreme and are acceptable to most people.
