Posted: 3/10/2006 6:33:26 AM | MAck...it is because ..."THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!" or it was a small error...or may have felt it was in the wrong topic.
Hopefully this does NOT happen to you too often....though I have had it happen to me too.  | |

My 'post' was on topic. Having been to Egypt twice and doing much reading I am sure it was accurate.

Posted: 3/12/2006 6:44:40 PM | j-mix :They pretend to be friendly but actually not. This is old middle eastern trick.
They say, "i love you" to all women and try to touch. They are trying to touch little girls too.
However they understand that this is prohibited. When i sad "Don't touch her", i immediately get angry-scared green "No, no! She is my sister!"..
When you ride the taxi and agreed about price, they always try to cheat like “but I sad 10 dolla, not 2 dolla!” This is disgusting.
Also you are Canadian. If you are from the US then they don't like you.
All Americans B.S. Egyptians like "I’m from England or Canadia or etc..."
As for your statement above,
I didnt have a problem with the men because I respected their culture and did not walk around with shorts or sleaveless shirts because I knew better.. The othe females who were with me finally got the point after the first day to cover up.
I also never had a problem with the taxis.. if you agree to a fair rate then there would be no problem
As for me being Canadian that has nothing to do with it.. if you are rude and ignorant it doesnt matter where you are from people are not goin to like you, even if you are canadian
Just stop being a prick and enjoy the fact that you have the opportunity to see and learn something new | |

To j-mix: you have a lot more reading to do and a lot more opening of the mind. Hopefully you'll get there one day.
As for the issue of ownership and artifact removal. This should be examined on a case-by-case issue and not generally. In some cases, the removal of artifacts has allowed them to be saved and preserved. In other cases it was European imperialism/colonialism at its best.
As for Ancient Egypt. I don't believe we have the right to desecrate these tombs and remains. The Ancient Egyptians obviously knew quite a bit and no doubt had metaphysical skills and abilities. They believed and accepted certain rites and rituals, and it is not fair to interfere with those systems to cure our curiosity.
As a student of Archaeology, I can say that it is a pseudo-science at best. And there disparaging accounts of numbers of corpses found, purposes, theories, etc... are usually never entirely agreed upon by the academic community. What the public reads/hears is usually only one perspective - either the English speaking side (if in North America) or the popular researcher.
Good topic though - it is nice to see people discussing these issues. | |
