<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 3181055, member: 89266&quot;]This really is a shame and a great shame on us in Brazil. The museum was the largest Museum of Natural History in Latin America. There were unique items such as a large collection of Egyptian mummies, the oldest Homo sapiens fossil found in the Americas (12,000 years), as well as historical documents and articles that tell the country&#039;s history since the discovery in 1500. By &quot;luck&quot;, the largest collection of coins is in the National Historical Museum, also in Rio de Janeiro, where there are unique Brazilian and Portuguese medieval pieces. They are still safe ...Everything lost in a few hours. In addition, this was the year the museum was 200 years old. The building itself was the palace of the Portuguese royal family when it lived in Brazil during the period of the Napoleonic Wars. We celebrate with ashes.</p><p>Very sad. The money needed to keep the museum safe would be 600,000 reais per year, something around $ 150,000. A reticent film extolling the political skills of a corrupt acquaintance here cost about 3x more. A country music show, our Brazilian version of Country Music, left with the blessings for 3,000,000.00 reais, all financed with public money.</p><p>But a museum, well, it&#039;s only a matter of school-age children and a bunch of nerds ...</p><p>And so, my country is sinking, turning into a new Venezuela ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
