They mess with ancient dead bodies all over the world. They go in the tombs as well. Sometimes they find all kinds of stuff.

Archaeologists really close to answering the age old question of "at what moment does it stop being grave robbing?"

A close friend is a doctor of anthropology and tbh it seems like a lot of western white "scientific" study has included inappropriately digging up (and, you know, desecrating etc.) the bodies of other cultures without the consent of their descendants, right into the present day. The tweet might have been a misplaced take, but I don't think it's that far off base in the anger they're reflecting. Doing it to white cultures too doesn't really detract from the issue when a lot of places are still hosed by colonialism and trying to deal with that.

I felt kinda icky reading people making fun of this lady, but I was worried about writing an effort-post just for it to get picked apart.

," oh poo poo my bad, (insert post about archaeology as grave robbing here)" might have been a better response that might have helped and educated like the above post did rather than double down but gently caress what do I know, this is the internet and Im just a white dude on the internet who thinks all corpses are trash unless theyre scientificly relevant.

I mean, it’s still kind of exploitation because that Zahi Hawass guy who’s in charge of digging poo poo up in Egypt and who’s had his face in every documentary for the last 25 years answers to the ministry of tourism or some poo poo. It’s still basically rich people robbing graves and not giving a poo poo about what will help the people or the country that they’re exploiting to do it.

I guess a lot of it depends on how the tourists spend their money—that is a good point. I still feel like seeing the priceless heritage of your culture and your people as a tool for bringing money into your country is not particularly respectful of it, albeit not on the level of English graverobbers snapping off Tutankhamun’s dick and taking it with them as a joke.

I mean they are still gaining priceless knowledge as well, aside from all the tourist nonsense. I wish it were divorced from capitalist profit motives but I think learning about one of the earliest human civilizations is pretty good

The tweet is dumb but archeologists absolutely exploit hierarchical colonial ties between countries or just the fact some countries are economically forced to sell permits for pennies. Abolish the British museum too

please knock Mom! posted:The tweet is dumb but archeologists absolutely exploit hierarchical colonial ties between countries or just the fact some countries are economically forced to sell permits for pennies. Abolish the British museum too The various other museums in the UK are making progress on this, either by returning items or arranging some kind of payment (monetary or exhibit exchange) to keep them as a 'loan' from the country of origin. The British museum however wants to only loan out its exhibits but legally still retain ownership. There was an article in the telegraph (up market right-wing paper) which tried to make the argument that giving this stuff back would be "denying Britain's history" like some kind of reverse double woke principle "if we don't keep the stolen stuff people won't know we stole it, which is bad!" because for some reason the only way to teach about British colonial past is through displaying the spoils.

The problem I'm seeing is that the whole thing is just screaming about how America's legacy of racism and bigotry are a myth. And they invoke civil rights leaders to whine about the plight of cishet white men. It's got gently caress all to do with lovely sensitivity training. It's a blatant piece of fascist propaganda.

The author speaks up in a dumb way but the core idea is absolutely right and it's ridiculous the BM still just exhibits looted stuff

That doesn't seem to be her point though. She doesn't seem to mention repatriation anywhere, Her point seems to be that we should let the people buried in these tombs rest in peace, that they shouldn't be explored and excavated and we only do it because "white people say we should". If Egypt want to excavate Egyptian tombs to put the artifacts into Egyptian museums then it's their right.
