This statue is more elaborate than any Egyptian statue I have ever seen. People need to stop focusing on Egypt and study other African civilizations.

I agree with the last part but you're comparing shyt from thousands of years ago with something that was made in the 19th Century.

Some Benin statues are from the 13th Century and are just as elaborate. I wasn't saying Ancient Egypt isn't magnificent but many people believe the rest of africa had no materialism and high art in the middle-ages.
