Africa News: In a Dutch museum the sound of hip-hop blares out next to sarcophagi and statues, in what curators say is an attempt to show the influence of ancient Egypt on black musicians.
A photo of superstar Beyoncé dressed as Queen Nefertiti sits next to ancient busts, while a video of Rihanna channels Egyptian styles.
What appears to be a pharaoh’s golden mask turns out to be a modern sculpture based on the cover of an album by the rapper Nas.
But the “Kemet” exhibition at Leiden’s Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities) has enraged Egypt, which has reportedly banned the museum’s archaeologists from a dig at a key site.
Egypt’s antiquities service said the museum is “falsifying history” with its “Afrocentric” approach, which seeks to appropriate Egyptian culture, Dutch media reported. more here

Seems the tiresome “Wakanda” routine, gone a bridge too far.
Cultural Appropriation! Go back to Wakanda!
This stupidity has gone so far…
Although, it’s kind of nice to see it’s not just the US.
Can’t remember if the Egyptians were offended by that Bangles video of “Walk like an Egyptian” or Steve Martin’s “King Tut” .
The most significant invention from Africa was the mud hut.
Jennifer, I don’t think Egyptians were offended by those. They weren’t trying to rewrite history like this current bunch who seem to think everyone from the African continent is and was black.

At least they knew how to roll shit around with Logs/wheels.
North American Indians used a Horse & 2 logs and dragged their shit everywhere.
Like an “A” frame on the horse with deer skin hammock in the middle and 2 the 2 logs dragging on the ground.
NO IDEA what the fuck they called it.
Sure, give them back North America…
