“The Metropolitan Museum of Art has begun adding highly detailed 3D models of artworks and artifacts to its website, letting online users inspect the objects from every angle. They also added an augmented reality feature for smartphones that allows you to interact with the virtual objects at their true scale, say by “walking through” the model of the Temple of Dendur,” reports The Doomslayer.
The EPA museum was closed by the Trump administration because virtually no one wanted to visit it. It attracted only about 8 people per day, and that “free” museum set up by the Biden administration cost about $315 in taxpayer funds for each visitor.
The Rubber Duck Museum moved across the border from Washington State to Canada, after Canadians stopped visiting it due to anger over American tariffs.
All of the major museums have been destroyed or looted in Sudan, a country that had mummies and more pyramids than Egypt
Sudan’s National Museum was looted of most of its artifacts, but a few items remain. “A statue of the Nubian god Apademak stands alone in the courtyard of Sudan’s National Museum, one of the few survivors of systematic looting.”
Other museums in Sudan were entirely destroyed or emptied. “Nyala Museum in South Darfur had not only been looted, but also repurposed as a military base, and the Sultan Ali Dinar Palace museum in Al Fashir was destroyed entirely.”
This is a big deal, because Sudan, like Egypt, has a rich history in ancient times that produced lots of ancient treasures and artifacts. “More than 200 pyramids were built in Sudan, as opposed to the 118 pyramids in all of Egypt, during the ancient reign. They were built by members of the Kingdom of Kush, an ancient Nubian civilisation that ruled the areas along the Nile River from 1070 B.C. to 350 A.D. and started even 500 years after the Egyptians.” Mummies were also found in Sudan.
