#2Huh. How can gold, silver and emeralds taken from South America, be “national cultural patrimony” of Spain? Aren't they a treasure of the South American natives they were taken from?

Is not Spain. It is from Colombia.
Are you from North America? Canada or US? Because following the same rules you state the land in which you live is not yours, but from the native Indians you exterminated before.
Or in a more recent example, ISIS would be the rightfully owners of the modern day gold, oil, that is under their territory the US wants to steal from them.

It is Spanish cultural patrimony in the same way Rosseta Stone is British patrimony. Legally it is owned by Spain.

I wonder what would be of current Colombia without the Spanish people that conquered it.

I doubt that, legally, a shipwreck of colonial times in Colombian waters is owned by Spain.
And I would like to think that most of the Spaniards agree with that.
