The EU will tell Britain to give back ancient marbles taken from Greece over 200 years ago as part of a post-Brexit trade deal

Visitors pose in front of the British Museum's Elgin Marbles that originate from the Parthenon in Athens, on 28th February 2017, in London, England.The EU and Britain will begin talks on a post-Brexit free trade deal next month.

It has emerged that in those talks, the EU will ask Boris Johnson to give ancient marbles back to Greece. Greece has long argued that the Parthenon marbles — or Elgin marbles — were unlawfully removed from the Parthenon temple in Athens in the early 19th century by Lord Elgin, a British diplomat at the time. that the classical Greek structures were taken from the Parthenon temple lawfully and are "are accessible to the six million global visitors the museum receives each year."

The question of which country ought to have Parthenon marbles is just the latest issue in what are set to be a tricky set of negotiations.that the UK would not sign up to EU rules as part of a free trade deal — and would rather walk away without an agreement.
