If it wasn't for the British, Egypt wouldn't have any antiquities left. They would have all been looted from the tombs and sold at the flea markets. It was the Brits who put them in museums and gave them value to begin with. Stupid Egyptians!

Um, just a memory from an art class I took long ago BUT didn’t the British used to import mummies for ‘mummy unwrapping parties’, and use them ground up for paint pigments? I also seem to remember mummies being used for firewood...
