I’ve been obsessed with all things Egypt since the age of 7. I often come on here to read such interesting facts about Egypt, but this one was like no other! It is written exceptionally well. I would love to visit this museum in person someday.
Thank you for such an in-depth and detailed reading experience. Greetings from India!

Thank you so much for this beautiful article! I like the parts that explain people’s feelings towards their country’s conduct. So rational. So good.

I came in expecting a 2 minutes read about something I already knew with shallow coverage. However, as it turns out, you provided an incredible insight into Egyptomania, provided an in-dept retelling of the story from all facets and perspectives, as well as telling them in an entertaining and easy to digest style. I would love to say how very well done this piece is, and I left, after reading the piece, more knowledgeable (and also spooked). Many thanks for your great work, and I hope to read more of your great style! You have +1 fan!

riveting read! the description of stead’s evening of storytelling on the titanic, followed by his helping people into lifeboats, then reading as the ship went down was absolutely gripping!
