A slow move / all that
Hi teachers,
Excerpts:
The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. "There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all," says Cambridge University archeologist Christopher Chippindale. But in Britain at least, the lure of buried treasure could change all that.
1. Does "a slow move" mean " a slow passage of time in history"?
2. I can't follow his statement, what does "all that" mean?
Thank you very much.
