Oh boy, another unoriginal British Museum meme. | History Memes

$Most foreign artifacts in museums, such as those in the British Museum, weren't looted. For much of history, societies saw old items as junk to dispose, melt down or reuse unless they were valued as important relics. Many were even destroyed as blasphemous or unwelcome. When colonial officials and travelers began seeking artifacts and paying good money for them, baffled locals often thought they were fools. The few looted artifacts often serve as poster boys but are, in fact, a small fraction of museum collections. E Ex If (831) r/History Memes could read they'd be very upset$

Nikola Tesla Никола Тесла Tesla, c. 1890 In the fall of 1937 at the age of 81, after midnight one night, Tesla left the Hotel New Yorker to make his regular commute to the cathedral and library to feed the pigeons. While crossing a street a couple of blocks from the hotel, Tesla was struck by a moving taxicab and was thrown to the ground. His back was severely wrenched and three of his ribs were broken in the accident. The full extent of his injuries was never known; Tesla refused to consult a doctor, an almost lifelong custom, and never fully recovered. [231][232] Please, sir, let me call a doctor! No.
