[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Another article about the exhibition and the controversy. There is a line from a song written by Nas that I think could irritate one or another modern Egyptian, and others too. It perpetuates the narrative that Europeans destroyed the noses of ancient Egyptian statues to hide that they looked African [QUOTE] Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went / He was so shocked at the mountains with Black faces / Shot up they nose to impose what basically / Still goes on today, you see?” Weijland points out that this story is consistent with the theory that Europeans “damaged the noses of Egyptian statues in the 19th century to hide their African appearance, but there is no evidence that this was the case.”[/QUOTE][URL=https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-06-08/dutch-museum-of-antiquities-banned-from-further-excavation-of-egyptian-necropolis-for-showing-beyonce-and-rihanna-as-queen-nefertiti.html]Dutch Museum of Antiquities banned from further excavation of Egyptian necropolis for showing Beyoncé and Rihanna as Queen Nefertiti - ElPais[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
