If it’s about embracing ancient culture as humans, that’s fine. But whose resistance? Resistance to what?
As a dutchie, i think it’s weird.
Firstly and most importantly, the exhibition doesn’t actually try to change history but shows that ancient Egypt influenced modern art.
Secondly, it has been up for a few months, and i get the feeling it has more to do with that netflix **”** *documentary* **”** cleopatra and maybe rising Egyptian nationalism

About damn time, all the factually incorrect “we wuz kangs” shit was getting annoying
Egypt is literally the bridge between Eurasia, North Africa and Subsaharan Africa. It shouldn’t be so surprising to people that it was ethnically mixed. There were pharoahs of Iranian, Nubian, Ethiopian and Greek ethnicity as well as ancient Egyptian ethnicity. Of course, we shouldn’t mix these up – Nefertiti was from a local Egyptian dynasty (possibly with some Hurrian ancestry too).
When white people do it it’s “cultural appropriation”, when black people do it it’s “inspiration”
If people cared less about the significance of their ancestry the world would be a better place. I know my ancestors were a hundred generations of dirty farmers that were oppressed by their despicable feudal overlords, and Im sad that nobody in the past 200 years had the idea to solve the murderous feudal dictator issue the french way.
Huh, who knew there are so many racists, idiots, and trolls in the Europe sub Reddit? And im not even sorting by controversial.
