@Vic18246223 Many historians - except for @kemetexpert - have ignored the nearly exclusive African hairstyles still among Africans that match Kemet's (Ancient Egypt's) hair stylings. That blue Nile Valley clay is one as is the red.

@McrMuseum cartoon or not, the depiction of an Egyptian King in your new gallery is way off the mark. Perpetuating Eurocentric stereotypes https://t.co/SHXcWarrJV

@SunjayJK @MAACambridge @FitzMuseum_UK @MuseumLiverpool @PetrieMuseEgypt @britishmuseum @michelledonelan @10DowningStreet No changes to the British Museum’s Egyptian collections to my knowledge. Even a simple information panel to reconnect with Africa is still being resisted.

Long overdue blog post sharing some thoughts on digital cultural accessibility: https://t.co/PgkowHK7hI #decolonize #museums

@kemetnubiakamp @Mistera22 @AlisonFisk It was erroneously categorized as “faience” by early Egyptologists because the blue colored examples resembled the faience glazes of later Islamic pottery. The term has just continued for some reason (not the only misassumption that’s stuck)

[Kemet Expert @kemetexpert]

@DEJPett @kemetnubiakamp @FitzMuseum_UK @ava Yes looking forward to that being back up and running. Please keep us posted

[Kemet Expert @kemetexpert]

@DEJPett @kemetnubiakamp @FitzMuseum_UK @ava Thank you. It’s extremely useful to have it back

@FitzMuseum_UK @kemetnubiakamp Thank you. Good to hear 👏🏼

[Kemet Expert @kemetexpert]

@FitzMuseum_UK @kemetnubiakamp I’ve just checked and the virtual Kemet galleries are also missing. Will these also be migrated across to the new site?

[kemetnubiakamp @kemetnubiakamp]

@FitzMuseum_UK Dr. Sally Ashton's Afro Comb work can no longer be found on your redesigned website. Can you return it/provide a direct link? @kemetexpert https://t.co/0GlqYLJdMN #kemet #afrocombs #nilevalleycivilization #ancientegypt #africanhistory #nubia #blackhair

@KandakaSolange This might go some way to explaining and this is why I always refuse to engage: https://t.co/6FcxLdQoQt
