What a tragedy that not even Egypt’s own citizens respect their history and amazing artifacts.

This is why they're doing it, because they have nothing in common with Egypt of the pharaohs. That was the sole time in Egypt's history when they were civilized.

Supposedly the mummies were beheaded as a sign of disrespect, because anything dating to the time prior to Mohammed is considered by Muslims to be evil.

Apologies for jumping in here mid thread, but I saw your post and it mirrored a discussion with DH last night - Essentially that if this country experienced riots in D.C., that yes, the Smithsonian would sadly, probably be looted...because we have arrived at a place where (for the most part- thankfully not all), the citizens have experienced a total disconnect with their own history, just as the Egyptians have : /

May God give us the strength we will need.
