What's the opinion on certain high risk countries where there's a high likelihood of the artifacts simply being destroyed? If I remember correctly ISIS and other similar organizations have burned or bombed several historical sites before.

The only opinion that should matter is that of the people the artifacts belong to.

“It’s safer with us” is an excuse that’s been abused by colonizers and raiders for too long.
