Before her trip to US they kept the real one in some vault and the replica was exhibited for the public. (If you asked, you will be told simply “for security reasons”!). And I don’t think we could get the one that we’ve sent intact…..it would’ve been better to sell her rather than shipping a fragile fossil.

The government/dictatorship of Ethiopia didn’t care for her safety as long as they get paid for shipping her. It is dangerous to move her around that’s why many prominent museums refused to have her. Shame on the government.

The reasons why Lucy must stay in Ethiopia and the multiple risks:
1. Tourist attraction for Ethiopian people (airlines, restaurants, taxis, bars, etc will benefit as a result).
2. Stealing Lucy’s fossil and exchanging it for a forged one (might happen in the West)
3. Airplane crash (might land on the ocean)
4. Ultra violet ray could destroy the fossil.
5. Transportation is also risks because of shaking and breaking the fossil .
