Typical westerners may get the pronunciation wrong, but it is they who preserved these artifacts in the first place. For example, see how well Napoleon's men preserved Egyptian artifacts vs how callously the Egyptian Pashas treated the monuments.
Also, the Egyptian Islamists have said if they come to power, they’ll destroy it all! It’s all infidel pagan to them!
To an Islamist there is no history before Islam.
Yes, I agree.
And muzzie lunatics (redundant) are always blowing up anything not Islam related.
I suspect that if it hadn’t been a westerner finding the tomb of Tut, all that historic treasure would have been melted down.
Wow!
Just relating a story I remembered from childhood and got flamed for it!
From now on I will just keep it to myself. Not worth it to share here.
