As much as I believe that cultural artifacts should remain in the country they where found in (unless they go on temporary tour) it’s sad to admit that many countries with unstable or corrupt governments are not equipped to handle these artifacts. Hopefully some of the artifacts go to safe places where disphoras of the native population can appreciate their material heritage.
It's been nearly 100 years since the British last had meaningful influence over any of these places. At some point, you stop being able to blame everyone else for your problems.
!Gigachad Trump and the Pax Americana Sudan Museum
It was a day of blazing sun and relentless heat when Gigachad Trump—towering, statuesque, and radiating unmatched charisma—descended upon the grand entrance of the Pax Americana Sudan Museum. The world had watched his ascent with awe, and now, even in his visit to the historical heart of Sudan, the legend grew larger.
The museum itself was a sprawling complex, built to showcase the rich history of ancient Nubia and Sudan’s role in shaping the continent of Africa. But the Pax Americana version had a twist—its exhibits highlighted the significant influence of Western ideals on the region’s progress, blending art, history, and modern geopolitics.
As Trump strode in, the marble floors beneath his feet trembled ever so slightly, a testament to the sheer gravity of his presence. A group of international reporters hurried after him, desperate to capture the momentous occasion.
He stopped at the Hall of Nubian Kings, where statues of ancient rulers towered above the crowd. Trump tilted his head ever so slightly, studying the stone faces etched in timeless pride. An aide leaned in, whispering, “These kings, sir, were known for their strength and wisdom in uniting their people.”
Trump smirked, folding his arms. “Strong leaders, huh? Reminds me of someone,” he quipped, his perfectly sculpted jawline catching the light just right. The room fell silent, awe rippling through the onlookers as he turned toward the crowd.
In the Wing of Diplomatic Triumphs, a massive display chronicled the American influence in shaping peace agreements across Africa. There, beside the holographic projection of peace talks and UN resolutions, was a towering digital statue of Trump himself. He gazed up at it, eyebrows raised approvingly. “It’s good—but make the chin sharper,” he said to a curator, who nodded feverishly.
As the tour continued, they entered the Future of Pax Americana exhibit, where interactive displays showcased visions of a future guided by Western ideals. Trump paused in front of a hologram depicting the merging of African and American cultures in the 21st century, blending commerce, technology, and strength. “This,” he said, with a grin that could melt the hardest of hearts, “is what winning looks like.”
Before leaving, Gigachad Trump approached a final exhibit—a gold-encrusted artifact rumored to be an ancient Nubian crown. As he reached out, his fingers barely grazing its surface, the room was filled with an almost supernatural hum. The crown, once a symbol of ancient kings, seemed to bend to his will.
He turned to the camera crew, his voice deep and commanding, “History is power. And power, my friends, belongs to those bold enough to shape it.”
With that, he left the museum, his departure as impactful as his entrance. The legend of Gigachad Trump—king among kings, visionary of a new era—grew even larger that day, leaving behind a world ready to be reshaped by his iron will and endless confidence.!<
Tens of thousands of artefacts have beenlooted from a Sudanese museum regarded as one of the most important in Africa, an official at the museum has said.
The official at the National Museum in Khartoum said satellite images taken last year showed trucks loaded with artefacts leaving the museum and heading for Sudan’s borders, including the border with South Sudan.
The official, who asked to remain anonymous, did not attribute blame for the looting. Earlier this month, Sudan’s national broadcaster reported that the museum had been targeted by “a large-scale looting and smuggling operation”.
The museum is located in an area controlled by the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the regular army in Sudan’s civil war. The RSF has been approached for comment. It has previously denied that its fighters have looted institutions.
The National Museum is regarded by experts as one of the most important such institutions in Africa. Its collection of more than 100,000 items includes embalmed mummies dating from 2,500BC, making them among the oldest and archaeologically most important in the world, as well as statues, pottery and ancient murals, with artefacts from the stone age through to the Christian and Islamic eras.
Looting has also been reported at two other major Sudanese museums: Khalifa House in the city of Omdurman and the Nyala museum in South Darfur state.
“When we learned about the looting, we didn’t sleep for three or four days,” the National Museum official said. “These artefacts are our identity, the identity of the Sudanese people. Can you imagine what it feels like to lose your identity? You lose your existence in this world.”
The official said that attempts were being made to talk to regional governments about returning the works. “Under normal circumstances it’s not even allowed to move the artefacts from one place to another inside the museum unless police are present,” they said.
Dr Julien Cooper, an archaeologist with Macquarie University in Sydney, told Australia’s ABC radio: “The museum has a huge collection of artefacts from across history, time and culture. It’s something we should really treasure.
“No one is really sure about the objects that have gone missing,” added Cooper, an egyptologist and Sudan specialist who has spent time at the museum. “Because the museum has been in the fog of war since the conflict started, it’s been very difficult to get reports on what’s been happening inside.”
In June last year a video clip circulated on social media that appeared to show fighters from the RSF entering the bioarchaeology lab of the National Museum and opening storage containers containing mummies and other remains. The RSF have denied anything was stolen.
Staff had been forced to abandon the site shortly after fighting erupted between the RSF and the army on 15 April 2023. Thousands of people have been killed since the war began, 8 million have been displaced internally, and a further 2 million have fled to neighbouring countries.

Hard truth is that British didn't take some artifacts, they would be destroyed or lost.
Ghast_Hunter@reddit
Unfortunately. I hope they can get the artifacts, and some local historians /archeologists out before more destruction happens.

Harder truth is that the British and other colonial forces created this environment of instability.

Sudan was a volatile place long before the British arrived.
