According to Euronews, heritage experts have raised concerns regarding gold disc medallions worn by Zendaya during a promotional event for the film Nolan's Odyssey. Specialists claimed the 3,000-year-old items were likely looted and described the display of such artefacts as an example of neocolonialism.
A parallel discussion has emerged concerning the use of Persian cultural identity in public spheres. This follows criticism regarding a Zoroastrian symbol worn by the internet personality IShowSpeed during the World Cup final. Both incidents have prompted wider debate over the ethical handling and representation of historical and religious cultural property.
