1. I'm impressed they've been able to recover as much as they had

...but that is a major tragedy of the war, and just another thing that makes me upset. It wasn't just the lootings that lost a lot of the items, but also a lot of the artifacts blown to smithereens amd won't be retrieved. I do hope they are able to recover whatever else they can that has been looted though. I will defintiely have my fingers crossed on this one, and the fact that it was able to open with a third of the items definitely is reason to celebrate.
