As a Pre-Colombian expert and student of the Incan and Mayam cultures,these antiquities belong to Peru as a part of their heritage.I have been to the Larcos musuem.I have traveled to Macchu Picchu and I do geel that a nation so rich in culture,but poor economically,was taken by the element of prestige and the fact that Yale could fund the expeditions.The battle may endure but in the end, I hope that Peru prevails so that travelers can view these exquisite pieces in their historic context and come to admire a society more advanced than most would like to think.

Maybe there is no legal basis for the claim, but they should send them back anyway simply as a sign of good faith. This sort of situation tends to reflect badly on us (however insignificant it might seem). We need all the allies we can get, especially in South America. We have all experienced the power of small things to help or hinder a situation. Even beyond that, it doesn't seem to be right for an American university to be holding such relics. What claim does Yale have to them? That it was an alumnus of theirs who found them? Does it really boil down to finders keepers? Let Peru take care of their own.
