Hungarian photographer thinks 'migrant chic' should be a thing

A Hungarian photographer, Norbet Baksa, decided to create a 'migrant chic' photo-shoot titled "Der Migrant."

The world is finally paying attention to the Syrian refugee crisis. But maybe that's not always a good thing.

A Hungarian photographer, Norbet Baksa, decided to create a "migrant chic" photoshoot titled " Der Migrant. "

The photoshoot, which features a beautiful slim woman, has set off a firestorm, with users calling the spread tasteless and sick.

Baksa has come out in defense of the shoot, suggesting it had value in furthering conversation.

"I do not understand how people can take a clear stand (pro or con) while we  are flooded with contradictory information through the media, so no one has extensive knowledge of the situation as a  whole. This is exactly what we wanted to picture," he said.

His approach to highlight the issue by showing off a woman fighting off border patrol officers with her breasts peeking from under her shirt or an image of a woman wearing high heeled boots with her legs spread wide open was perhaps, not the best idea.

2,400-year-old shrine uncovered in Heliopolis

The discovery, which was made in the ancient city of Iuno that is now modern day Heliopolis in Cairo, may unravel a few mysteries and secrets from that era.

Egyptian and German archaeologists were able to unearth a number of blocks of a shrine for Nectanebo I dating back to the 30th Dynasty in Matterya, according to an Antiquities Ministry statement  Tuesday.

The discovery, which was made in the ancient city of Iuno that is now modern day Heliopolis in Cairo, may unravel a few mysteries and secrets from that era.

The discovery of the small, yet essential, remains of a limestone column along with the rubble from a ceiling, still carries carvings of stars, proving that it was well-preserved and virtually untouched for the last 2400 years.

Parts of two different statues of King Merenptah and King Nectanebo I along with a number of mud brick blocks that surrounded the temples during that time were also discovered, according to Mahmoud Afify, the head of Ancient Egyptian department.

The discovery of these blocks, which are 75 cm to 1.25 meters long, still carry the carvings of gods such as Hapi, the ancient god of the Nile River, holding offerings, along with the inscription of Ancient Egyptian Nomes at the time, said Khaled Abu Ela, the manager of the Matterya district.

Furthermore, the recent discovery of these blocks closely resemble the discovery of a shrine made for Nectanebo I in Aswan during the last round of excavations in the area. Abu Ela stated that works and excavation missions will continue in the Matterya district as archaeologists and Antiquities Ministry are confident more findings will be unearthed soon.
