Who owns antiquity?

We all do, because we are mortal and one day nothing will be left of us but some of our stuff. The objects we appreciate today used to be somebody's stuff, and that's why we like them, whether it's an art treasure which properly belongs to Humanity or the lace doilies Great-Grandmother tatted while waiting for her young husband to return home from the trenches in France, which he did, which is literally how I am here today, and those lace doilies are still in use. If your stuff survives long enough then it becomes part of antiquity for someone in the distant future, who will then own antiquity just as we do today.
