The Brooklyn Museum had the finest Egyptology collection in the U.S. prior to the Met getting the huge transfer from the Government of Egypt. The reason for the selection of the Met is obvious, the Met is easy to get to, is in a very tony neighborhood and has millions of visitors each year. The Brooklyn Museum started their collection in the 19th Century, piece by piece, but they are located in a dumpy neighborhood, are next to impossible to access by car and outside of Egyptology, don’t have much to recommend them.

You are correct, the transfer was politically motivated, at at time when Egypt was doing fence mending with the West. Dam shame to see all that stuff fall into the hands of cultural Nazis.

The Romans looted the marble from the pyramids. Egyptians have been using the pyramids as stone quarries for at least 2000 years, and who can blame them? Huge piles of cut stone, imported from hundreds of miles away, they would cost hundreds of times more to get from stone quarries in Sudan.

The pyramids were built by Zionists. Just because they didn’t appreciate how lucky they were, the ingrates wanted to leave Egypt and conspired to bring ten plagues on the poor, peaceful Egyptians and their divine Pharaoh. Finally they were thrown out, and they didn’t even take their filthy pyramids with them.

Obama gave the green light to the so called “Arab Spring” turned “Islamist Winter”.

You are so wrong. These Islamists are serious. They just destroyed ancient tombs in a mosque in Mali, a UNESCO site classified as world historic monument.

REMEMBER THE BAMIYAN BUDDAS!

Islamists have no national identity.

Just one more thing to ponder come November.

What did the UN do for the Islamic destruction of the Bhuddas at Bamian.

Hopefully, the bulk of Egyptians will realize they need the tourists dollars and this would just be insane. Also, the Army is likely to object, especially if the US would state that the Army would get no more US money.

Cutting off the Egyptian army would make the new Egyptian regime happy.

Cutting off aid to Egypt’s Military would make the Military mad. They still have effective control, and would probably stop any idiotic Bamian type activity.

I can think of a few other “symbols of paganism” that could do with demolition, too. Strangely enough, all of them begin with “M”...

There are many good books on the subject of the Great Pyramid by authors E. Raymond Capt,David Davidson, Adam Rutherford. Here is a link about Davidson.
http://www.eternalthroneofdavid.com/greatpyramid.htm

Many believe Enoch, the seventh from Adam was the builder of this divine inspired structure. The ancient Egyptians copied what they saw with the second pyramid and all of the others, but their handiwork was of far lesser quality.

Isaiah 19:19-20 refers to the Great Pyramid.

Have learned one thing since 911. islam is on the march. Would hate to see the pyramids to go bye bye, yet with islam on the march and zer0 supporting them, it looks possible that islam may rule the day in Egypt. It will be a tragedy for the people of Egypt, and has been a tragedy for Egypt that the muzzies are on the march. After zer0 and his administration are defeated, a great place for them would be Egypt (imho).

I have a friend quite high up in the heirarchy of the British Museum - a classicist - and I’ve discussed the Elgin Marbles with him. He honestly believes they should be returned to Greece. He thinks where possible such important artifacts should be in their native land. But he told me he and some others won’t budge on the position while anybody tries to insist they were stolen. He wants the Greek government to acknowledge that they were saved from destruction and are being returned only because Greece would now protect its heritage properly (this was before the major financial crisis - not sure if he’d still think they could).
