NYC Spots To Learn About Ancient Egypt
Egypt is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and it has become a tourist destination as people flock to see the amazing structures in places like Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. New York, luckily, is home to many elements of ancient Egyptian culture, so New Yorkers can learn without traveling to Egypt.

The Center for the Restoration of Ma’at
The Center for the Restoration of Ma’at is a religious group. It uses Kemet as a spiritual model, and believes Black Africans founded Egypt. Married couple, Jabari Osaze and Anika Daniels-Osaze, started the organization in New York, and the couple leads tours across the world educating others on their faith and Kemetic Egypt. Though they do not have a central location, people can register for tours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum and learn about ancient Egypt through their religious guidance.
