I wonder if there were any conditions placed on the gift of the marbles to
the British Museum, such as perhaps that they couldn't be given away.

It would be interesting, if the Museum tried to give them to Greece (highly
unlikely I know), to see if the current Earl of Elgin and Kincardine would
be able to demand they return them to him.
