RE: 🇪🇬 The Great Egyptian Event — The Grand Egyptian Museum Opening 🎉
You shared some very tiny pictures. Is there a reason, even on a phone they are petite?
Interesting what Egypt declares, a bit pity it isn't shown and a lot of money is wasted to visit it on acvount of the people. At least the Dutch return what is taken from a grave. I will never understand why grave robbery is permitted. I am sure that if I would do this today I end up in prison.
Thanks for sharing this topic in a post.
🍀♥️
Thank you dear @wakeupkitty for sharing your thoughts
I completely understand and respect your concern about historical and ethical values.
Honestly, I got the pictures from Google, so I’m not sure why they appear small. The main reason was that I didn’t want to “spoil” too much from the video — I wanted everyone to enjoy the ceremony themselves
As for the museum, its main goal is to bring the artifacts back to their original land and present them in a way that honors history and the spirit of ancient Egypt.
I truly appreciate your engagement and thoughtful comment
🌸♥️
With you I hope that, also like @almaguer stated, that will happen and eaxh culture has a right of history unfortunately I don't see that around me. It seems only certain cultures have that right 😕
I completely understand what you mean, dear @wakeupkitty 🌿
It’s truly sad that not all cultures are given the same space to honor their history, while every nation deserves to tell its own story.
Unfortunately, in today’s world, the big fish often eats the small and peaceful ones😕… but there’s always hope that one day all civilizations will be respected equally, because diversity is what makes our world more beautiful and humane 🌍
Despite everything, Egypt still preserves much of its ancient heritage, even though over one million stolen artifacts are displayed in museums around the world. Egypt has already managed to recover about 30,000 pieces, and negotiations are still ongoing to bring back the rest of its treasures.
During the ceremony, there was a beautiful musical piece featuring ancient Egyptian dance, symbolically traveling around the world. One touching moment showed the stolen obelisk that now stands in European squares — a replica of which is displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum — followed by clips of all the obelisks worldwide, as if sending a message:
“These are our monuments.” 🇪🇬
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and deep perspective.
I truly hope that the day will come every nation has the right to be proud of it's culture and history. It's my belief that we should see it in the eyes of those who lived back then and not how we are (forced to) see the world today.
There's no need to feel ashamed about history, a culture, about anchestors we might have had and never met.
The complete package is what made us what we are today, where we stand, how we face the world and I truly believe that one hand washes the other.
I wish you a happy day.
You're absolutely right. Without history and heritage, there would be no civilization or identity for any nation. Every culture leaves its own mark and story that shapes who we are today. Wishing you a wonderful day filled with inspiration and positivity.
