Hi,
If and when groups/individuals from Egypt begin repatriation requests to museums in England, and if these people request our support, this will be given. Personally, I find mummioes facinating, but remain disturbed at their relocation - education aside, the poliltics of the matter demand the burying of the remains of post colonialism. The display of mummies is an issue for local egyptians to initiate, and not CoBDO. Perhaps we should ask the ancestors what they think... One day, someone will speak for them, and when they are given a voice, I strongly recommend we all listen
