There was this stupid and insipid “research project” at the local art museum years ago that tried to claim that famous Egyptian art actually originated in Southern Africa (so the Egyptians appropriated it) and gave examples like two dolls, made of straw (ironically yellow) with 2 hands, feet and, gasp, spikey hair.

Not because basic grass doll technique is universally discoverable?! Naah - it’s cultural appropriation and they wuz kangs. Since then the art museum (which has a high reputation even for a small city) has floundered and become nothing more than stupidly woke and has to make money using cheap tricks to stay afloat as there’s constant infighting that the board and employees are never woke enough.
