Elgin has gotten most of the blame for taking Greek artifacts away from Greece and letting them depreciate, though many connected in the looting afterwards.
In 1810, Elgin loaded his last vessel with his resources.
The first 65 cases of artifacts arrived in London in 1804 where they remained for two years due to Elgin's incarceration in France.
The “Marbles,” as the artifacts are called, experienced mistreatment by Elgin.
They were placed in a dirty, humid shed on the grounds of Elgin’s Park Lane house.
They remained there for years moldering, while Elgin looked for a purchaser.
He tried to sell them to the British government, but he was asking too high a price, and Britain declined.
