Why were most archaeologists British?

give them back anglo subhumans

Were they? Quite a few famous archaeologists were French, actually.

because jesus was british

You should ask a smarter board like /his/

We were just bored desu

have you ever been on /his/

Jesus is Greek you anglo subhuman

I've seen a lot of people post questions on this board but they get shitty answers so they repost them on /his/.

they had a lot of bored aristocrats with too much money on their hands

/his/ is like another Sup Forums desu

Was Allah German?

Oh shit, never mind, it's just that Germany is suffering from a Muslim majority now. Got a bit 'fused.

dont know
ask the mayor of your capital

we like to 'look after' old stuff because you can't trust bloody foreigners

He's too busy shagging Angela merkel up her arse lad

Because they have the lands. Egypt, most of the Middle East, India were British. Iran was under British influence. Britain supported Greece against the Ottoman Empire and Greece accorded them easier rights to delve its ground.

Have you ever actually been on Sup Forums

because niggers don't value foreign culture. you have to realize Egyptian Arabs are just Arabs who didn't like Egyptians to begin with and destroyed much of ancient Egypt. Just look at how they treat Copts nowadays, who are the most connected to ancient Egypt. Egyprtian Arabs "we wuz egyptians n shiet" is relatively new, a 1920's effort to give Arabs living in egypt some kind of own identity. That was half aborted with the war against Israel when the Arab identity rooted even deeper.

that goes for Greece too. Greeks didn't give a fuck about "their" ancient history until Germans and other western europeans showed it to them. It was crumbling and buried and being stepped on by "Greeks" which makes me seriously question the ancestry of modern Greeks.

It's a good thing westerners took all sorts of history into Europe. If not, who knows how much more would've been lost.

Christians also massacred the Egyptian heritage. They massacred the statues in front of Abu Simbel Temple and burnt the Great Library of Alexandria because they didn't accept some people have other believe than their God.

at least Europeans aren't standing over the dead bodies of Egyptians claiming they wuz Egyptians.

it really gets my noggin joggin that Arabs spent centuries actively supressing and eliminating ancient egyptian culture and heritage and now that they it is mostly gonne, they go on how they are actually Egyptians and not Arabs.

While treating Copts, whose liturgic writtings are actually late Egyptian language, like shit.

Really makes me ponder.

we do that desu

(Other than from Sup Forums).

>Copts, whose liturgic writtings are actually late Egyptian language

Britain and France were the big boys, with Britain usually being at the forefront of techniques with what we know as archaeology today with the likes of William Cunnington and John Aubrey.

Because England is tiny and has no history compared to Egypt.

Do they post historical traps and tell you that your mother will die in her sleep if you don't post on a thread about the Second World War?

they are int but with more obscure topics

What did the Ancient Britons look like?

We have no idea, it isn't even firmly established who they actually were.

>While treating Copts, whose liturgic writtings are actually late Egyptian language, like shit.
It's because they won't convert to Islam.

Whoever they were they fucking loved stone circles. The British Isles has the most stone circles anywhere in Europe.

Thanks, France.

I'm sure they were arab... we like stones

They have plundered foreign lands because they are perfidous

But those copts still just marginally gave more of a shit about ancient egyptian culture

you're welcome

Good lads though

Are brits the worst people ever?

Wasnt there a group of anglo archaeologists who all died months after opening Tutenchamons tomb?

Mongols were stopped from reaching Egypt though :DDD
Also Tombs were usually sacked and stolen of their contents. Only the hidden ones or cursed ones are left
