Check out all of the science in this meme.
It's not even right, since the French were the ones that stole most of the artifacts out of Egypt. Then the English stole them from the French.
Transitive property
THERE'S the science (math)! We found it everybody! It's over here
The joke is that the British have an incredibly problematic history literally centuries-old of taking things from other cultures and going “well, it’s ~~ours~~ the world’s now.“ Many of these communities have been asking them literally for decades to return them, but they simply won’t even to this day.
There was a time where they could maybe make the claim “this is the best way to preserve them,“ but for the vast majority of cases that time has long since passed and it was flimsy to begin with.
Mummies are indeed best preserved in the stomachs of rich aristocrats.
Those rich aristocrats better stay tf away from my Mommy then.
Don't let your mommy become a mummy either.
(i fixed the typo. Thanks )
We didn't just steal artifacts. We stole whole countries. At one point the empire covered a quarter of the planet. And it wasn't that long ago either.
The artifacts were just the souvenirs.
It's mostly due to early "archeologists" being almost entirely trust fund babies born into the aristocracy and to whom it was a contest to make the craziest claims possible.
See the OG trench at Troy that went completely past the end of the Bronze Age and dumped all of the important artifacts into a refuse pile that is apparently still being sifted through today.
Also see early "paleontologists" who seemed to use Dino bones in an attempt to make monsters scary enough to make kids cry.
That's because we brought too many scientists to Egypt instead of soldiers like the Brits did.
Okay, is there a /c/historymemes?
!historymemes@kbin.social
Perhaps it's time to make one here?
