The Grand Egyptian Museum 2025 (1 Billion Dollar Museum)
The Grand Egyptian Museum is expected to be fully opened in 2025. It is the largest museum in the world with an area of 480,000 square metres (They are all dedicated to Egyptian civilization, and this is not found in any museum in the world), compared to other famous museums. The area of the Louvre Museum in France is 72,000 square metres, the area of the Hermitage Museum in Russia is 233,000 square metres, the area of the British Museum is 92,000 square metres. Square, also these museums have become old, outdated designs and are not safe, and many cases of theft have been recorded. The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum will be very special As we know, Egypt excels in these shows, as it did in the 2019 royal mummies transport show, Egypt also has other museums, such as the Museum of Civilization, to which the royal mummies were transferred in 2019, and its area is 133 thousand square meters, But Europe still says that they should have our stolen antiquities because they have better museums and protect the antiquities lol.
god bless my ancestors 🇪🇬
The museum relies on natural lighting (environmentally friendly)
In addition to the fact that the Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest and best museum in the world, what is special is that it will display rare things that have never been displayed before, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun, In the past, a small part of Tut's tomb was displayed in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, covering an area of 700 square metres. Now the entire tomb will be displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum, covering an area of 7,000 square metres.

I am African
Does It Matter? Are you African? Yes, I am
You may as well call me an earthling. It does not matter where I come from.
I am the descendant of the first two beings, My lost relatives scattered across the earth, The distance may have sculpted our features, Yet, in every face, I see a reflection of my origin.
I saw a human in front of me, A child of my first father, And I asked myself: Does it matter where I come from? Does it change what I am? Does it alter what I have to offer this world? For the roots of identity connect to one tree.
The one who claims to be from "somewhere" Belongs to "everywhere" And nowhere, all at once. Verily, "somewhere" can be "anywhere." Our origins converge, Our destinies intertwine.
identity is not solely defined by origins or a place of belonging.
A person’s value, purpose, or essence transcends geography or societal labels.

Can I have some recommendations on books focused on African Folklore?
Any book of an overview from around the continent or hyper grounded in a particular country people or region? There's a lot out there but I don't know where I should start. Thank you.

Congo killing their criminals
Just wanted to know how everybody feels about RD Congo minister giving death sentence to Kalina, who are dangerous gang members. I feel like as immoral as it sounds, they have done so many bad things to people including in my family and due to the current country’s state, there is no other way to deal with them. But it’s still wrong obviously

The economic gap between Africa and the rest of the world is growing | The Economist
An article by The Economist noting that the economies of many African countries have not grown, and those that have, little by per capita basis. Part of a larger report on Africa's economic status.

Why was Haile Selassie praised?
Besides him defending Ethiopia from colonizers, just exactly why does many people especially pan-Africanist love him despite how he massacred people left and right, especially the harari people and he’s the reason why they are a minority?
