First the inventory. Now, happily, some recoveries:
The Luxor Tmes reports [via] that seven statues and five necklaces
(one gold, the others faience and coloured glass) that were missing from the Egyptian Museum have been recovered, and the alleged ringleader of the theft and two alleged accomplices, who were “offered” $50 million in a sting operation, were arrested, according to the Luxor Times. A shorter version of the story appears on Al-Ahram‘s website.
Nevine El-Aref of Al-Ahram also reports that the Ministry of Antiquities has released an inventory of 27 objects missing from the storehouse at Tel El-Faraein, “which houses thousands of objects from excavations
carried out in different sites there.”
The problem is, Al-Ahram doesn’t provide a link to the list of the 27 missing objects and none of the other sites I have checked (including that of the Supreme Council of Antiquities) links to this “released” list either. I’ll update this post if I get the list.
