No other cultural sculptures had the noses removed time and time again by those who took that area over. It ain’t some “The nose was the easiest thing to steal” bs either.

more like, we don’t want you to know how wide that nose was…

The Egyptians were black. The reason that the current Egyptians living there look middle eastern is the same reason why we have white people in America.

COLONIZATION.

Explain to me why every civilization in the world could build a steady nose on a sculpture, but the Egyptians couldn’t?

It doesn’t make any sense. If they can build the pyramids they can build a nose, i often find it sad how far the Europeans have gone to preserve their white supremacist ideologies while destroying African history.

Would people please stop reblogging this awful bullshit? There was no conspiracy, or even any kind of mass action, by Arab or European colonizers or anyone else to destroy the noses on Egyptian statues!

And guess what? It turns out the noses do get broken off of non-Egyptian statues all

the

time!

They’ve even got entire museums dedicated to broken Greek and Roman noses!

And while you’re at it, stop trying to spread the totally unsubstantiated myth that ancient Egyptians were “more black” than Egyptians today!

Ancient Egyptians – just like Egyptians today! – had a variety of skin colors! Look, in one famous family:

Ancient Egyptian history needs to be accepted on its own terms. It doesn’t fit into a white supremacist historical agenda, but it doesn’t need to be distorted to fit an Afrocentrist agenda, either. Ancient Egypt was not Europe, but it wasn’t identical with African history, either. Ancient Egyptians saw differences between themselves and all of their neighbors, to the northeast, northwest, and to the south, as we can see in this work, which portrays an Egyptian on the far right:

I’m mostly reblogging this post because of the display of broken noses (plus some ears and part of a face?) Museums full of noses. Can you imagine?

It’s almost like the parts that stuck out were more likely to get broken off over time

The venus de milo doesn’t have arms ffs statues are made out of stone and when you carve stone anything sticking out becomes structurally weak.
