That is really good news!
This is the second fragment returning to Greece the last few months!!!

Just a remark though:
Quote:
Angnar had inherited the fragment in 1972 from her father, who was given it as a gift by his brother, naval officer Henning Lund, following a trip to Athens in 1895.
wtf??? She had inherited it???
Her father's brother was obviously a smuggler of antiquities!
That piece was stolen and of course we should thank her for returning it but that didn't belong to her in the first place!
If everyone of the thousands of tourists who visit the Parthenon everyday took a little "souvenir" with them, there would have been nothing left of the Acropolis!
