I'd hardly call sticking an obelisk in a square in the center of Paris, Egyptology.

And? Should we get them a pyramid on the side?

I judge people by what they do not what their culture does. I belive in individualism, and when you start to generalize people into stereotypes and anscesteral heritage you make the first steps into socialism.
