WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Should Africa reclaim its stolen treasures?
|
[Oh let them have it. The “treasures” don’t amount to much. How about giving them back their “treasures” if they will give back the billions they received in foreign aid? Jan] Ethiopia successfully fought for the return of one of its national religious treasure, the Axum Obelisk. The 1,700-year old stone obelisk looted by Italy nearly 70 years ago arrived in Addis Ababa last month to a rapturous welcome. Thousands of people lined the streets to see what they consider an important symbol of their identity restored to them. Two years ago a German museum handed back to Zimbabwe a soapstone carved bird after 100 years. The Zimbabwe bird is an emblem of the country, appearing on the national flag and currency. The Ethiopian Obelisk and the Zimbabwe bird are just two of the many traditional and sacred objects that vanished from Africa and ended up in museums, learning institutions or private homes abroad during the colonial era. The BBC’s Africa Live asks: How important are historic artefacts to your sense of identity? What should your government do to reclaim your country’s lost treasures? Or should we stop dwelling on the past and concentrate on sorting out the problems of the present? Source: BBC |
