          I agree with most of your points, but not this:

          Further, who are you or I to say?

          I don’t have a say, as I neither have artifacts nor am of the relevant culture. You may speak for yourself. But others may have a say.

          However, this could be interpreted as the facilities with the artifacts currently, have no say. They very much do. Discounting them is also wrong.

          We can all discuss the moral grounds, which should include which groups get a say.

          Cheers

        Mexico has the federal department INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History), which preserves and cares for ancient artifacts and historical sites from the Maya, Aztec, Izapa, Teotihuacan, and more. They operate over 100 museums and handle over 139,000 archeological sites, with 150 open to the public. I think Mexico would be able to handle any artifacts found in Mexico.
