🧵6/6 And one issue for Ethiopia. Greece pretty much won the argument when it built the @acropolismuseum. Is it time for a Maqdala museum in Addis, in Gondar or on top of Maqdala itself? Perhaps next to a memorial to Alemayehu. #Ethiopia #maqdala #magdala @alulapan @lemnsissay

Loot of the day: More Mary. More Maqdala. As it says on the cover: "WEDDÁSÉ MÁRYÁM - Part of an Ethiopic Manuscript Taken At Magdala, Abyssinia, 1868. Lieut. E.H.H. Collen R.A." Now in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin #ethiopia #maqdala #magdala #loot https://viewer.cbl.ie/viewer/object/W_916/1/LOG_0000/

Loot of the day: Lieutenant Borrett took "two Abyssinian swords...a ring I cut off a dead enemy, part of a native bible and a bullet that fell at my feet during the fight" during the British "expedition" to Ethiopia in 1868. Here's the ring in Lancaster http://kingsownmuseum.com/mus03campaigns1868.htm #ethiopia #loot #plunder #empire #britishempire #repatriation #abyssinia #maqdala #magdala #africa #alamayu #alemayehu #lancaster #army #britisharmy #military
