there's an exhibit in the BM about how they're proud to be allowing the Egyptian government to take back some of the artifacts the British have been safeguarding for the world while Egypt was going through essentially "troubles".

right next to it is an older exhibit about how the original curator took cuneiform rolls and made them into necklace beads for his wife and rings? for himself.

either someone at the BM has a very british sense of humor or it's a gigantic woosh. I laughed my ass off. People looked at me.



The safeguarding propaganda is a a typical go-to of the remnants of the British empire to keep their stolen goods.

They do it even with the Chile Moais when they never where in any danger.

It's all lies.
