PERU plans to sue Yale University to reclaim artefacts taken 100 years ago from the Incan capital of Machu Picchu.
Peru says Yale has more than 40,000 pieces, a mix of pottery, jewellery and bones taken by the US explorer Hiram Bingham after he rediscovered the ancient city in 1911.

Shouldn't the original owners, i.e, the country the booty in museums was lifted from, have the world's museums charged with reset ... or handling stolen goods? After all ... they're ALL guilty as hell!!!
