Two UK #museums lose funding after the controversial sale of a 4,000-year-old Egyptian statue

[McTwerk]

It's a fair question.

Do the Egyptian people own the ancient Egyptian artifacts? The government? How do you determine ownership on something that is 1000's of years old?

I'm not trying to instigate an argument, I'm asking a realistic question. Who would/should these artifacts belong to today? If they were taken from the museum where should they go?

Any African museum

Fair enough. I misunderstood the intention of 'return to their owners' as a private group of people/government. No issue at all with them being moved to an African museum. The important part is that all people have access to historically important cultural artifacts and information.

My main beef is how many Africans, Black Americans and Afro-Latinos/Caribbean can even afford to make that trip and see their rightful heritage?

I get what you're saying, it's a real concern regardless of location. Not sure you can put them anywhere permanently that is easily accessible for all. That's why I think touring exhibits are best, it reaches more people.

What I meant is that they do need to stay publicly availability, and free/low cost to experience.

British people have no courage that's why they still celebrate the Monarchy in the UK.

Seriously, the British alone have an assload of shyt from every African country. Them, the French, and the Germans need to come up off our heritage.

they ain't just gonna give it "UP" to you.

You need either:

1. legislation preventing the private sale of it

2. your own money

I like the monarchy


It's a healthy reminder that the world doesn't make sense.
Whereas in America you get to vote between Coke and Pepsi to maintain the illusion of a healthy democracy in action
