In an era where Emory was striving to be seen as a top school, the Carlos emerged as a cultural force...luring crowds, scholars, & $...
But the museum’s antiquities often came from people tied to the vast & shadowy business of plundering the world’s treasures, & erasing history forever

Much talk of #museums, #archaeology, #looting of antiquities this week
Protip: follow @Drdonnayates & @elginism for news + expert analysis
This story is different:
In May 2023, the #Greek Ministry of Culture rejoiced at the return of ancient objects, including a sculpture of Alexander the Great. One catch: Is it real?

Fine documentary on investigation by Stephan Lehmann et al. into forged ancient bronze heads

The West's Hypocrisy on Niger Coup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe4cpfZvBxM&ab_channel=red.
As the West lines up to condemn the bloodless coup in Niger, we look back at some of the bloody coups the West has itself orchestrated in Africa.

I’m traveling and came across the #British version on one of these tv channels, and they just keep reminding me about #colonialism and #colonization.
So many #people #celebrating #looted items from their #families’ questionable #histories.
The hosts frequently ask what their guests plan to do with their “good #fortunes”, and I just don’t hear anyone saying #GiveItBack

“Local officials reported ‘unprecedented’ waves of #looting and #violence in cities across the country overnight, including in Lyon, where the mayor appealed for #police reinforcements to aid local gendarmes who were ‘overwhelmed’ by the scale of the #rioting.”

Rumors are going through the district that there will be shooting starting around 3-ish.
My husband came home at lunch and grabbed the kevlar vests for him and Mac and planned a route home from Mac's school that circumvents the mall area.

"As part of its Cost of the crown series, the Guardian has uncovered a remarkable 46-page file in the archives of the India Office, the government department that was responsible for Britain’s rule over the Indian subcontinent. It details an investigation, apparently commissioned by Queen Mary, the grandmother of Elizabeth II, into the imperial origins of her jewels."

A rare statue of Buddha fails to sell at quction as questions swirl around the collection of James and Marilynn Alsdorf. The collection will have trouble finding buyers following questions about how they were acquired. The piece from Nepal was once displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. #StolenArt #repatriate #looting #colonialism
