Scythian Gold Treasure Sparks Diplomatic Spat Between Russia and the Netherlands

[Swordsmyth]

Moscow has accused the Netherlands of seizing gold artifacts claimed by the Kremlin following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
A collection of gold that dates back to the Scythian era in the fourth century B.C. was on display in Amsterdam when Moscow invaded Crimea and annexed it from Ukraine almost three years ago.
A Dutch court ruled last year that Ukraine was the rightful owner of the ancient treasure and it should not be returned to the territory while it is occupied by Russia.

Moscow, meanwhile, claims that as Crimea is part of Russia, the artifacts should be returned.

Schliemann's gold magically appeared in Moscow. Maybe the Russians should return that $#@! to Germany.

Makes no sense at all . The Scythians ( nomadic iranian war like peoples ) are of no relation to anyone in Crimea or Russia today . I will offer to store this gold and settle this dispute .
