[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] RECAP FROM RELOADED: [b] How Ancient Egypt became "Western"[/b] As credible histories show, when Napoleon came back from Egypt with a huge ton of documentation and artifacts, Westerners increasingly realized that there was a whole other massive, advanced ancient culture that did not depend on "the West" - that was long before Greece and Rome. Hence as some academics note- it was this "Egyptian wave" that really expanded the museum in the West and made Egyptian art part of the Western canon. In other words, the West co-opted and incorporated all those artifacts as part of "the West." This is why "Egyptomania" was and is still alive in the West. Even the Romans were collectors of Egyptian art and the Greeks recognized Egypt as superior on some counts. So basically you have a huge amount of ego, resources, money and emotion invested by white people in Egypt. Egyptian symbols even appear on their paper money. This is why they will fight tooth and nail to downplay, dismiss or distort Kemet's African roots (the "3D" strategy). They are hugely invested - body and soul in this. [/QB][/QUOTE]
