    There is an Egyptian obelisk in Central Park in NYC as well, it's one of two, the other being in London. It was a gift from Egypt to the UK, and then the British gave the other to an American to put in New York. Zahi Hawass, former antiquities minister and corrupt criminal, has tried to claim that the city of New York doesn't take care of the monument carefully and that he needs to come inspect it or some kind of crap. He's just looking for a pay day, like one of Ali Baba's thieves.

    It's wild to me. The host is objectively one of the driest, careful way. He doesn't use a ton of subjective adjectives, he never throws in asides or quips or much informal language.
    I like him a lot! I'm not complaining in the slightest. I'm trying to figure out where the host's sexual orientation got in the way of delivering a solid, thoughtful, engaging information in a grounded way without doing the tv host song and dance.

      Oh, if only it had been like that! The noble Western millionaires and their museums had saved the irreplaceable goods for posterity. Unfortunately, this was (almost) never the case and the donors for the looting of the tombs came from Europe. The goods that were on the black market were senselessly bought together and trimmed to fit, they were too bulky for transportation. No no, your argument sounds noble, but has very little in common with reality

    • @bholdr----0
      @bholdr----0 3 місяці тому

      Yeah, because people go to a lot of effort to steal valuable things just to destroy them! (If treasure hunting, throughout history, can even be considered theft- unless by, say, a colonial power that systematically exports a culture's heritage to... make paint, patent medicines, entertain parties, and fertilize their gardens with dead bodies!)

      Yes African. Arabs came into Egypt later, so modern day Egyptians have Arab blood mixture happed when they entered Egypt later. Nubians, for instance were in southern Egypt and Sudan (darker Egyptians). The people in the north were Berbers (found throughout Northern Africa) They definitely traveled and there were mixing happening with Greeks, other African groups, and other Europeans and middle eastern groups, thanks to trade.

      Um no? They have literally done DNA tests on ancient mummy's and they are most closely related to people from the Levant and have remained consistent despite the changes to to the ruling powers. They were, and still are, Arabs.
