The report about the Egyptian looters who abuse the instability in their land to unprecedented underground treasures to loot.
In February, the Secretary - General of the SCA ( Supreme Council of Antiquities ) did not know that the Egyptian treasures despite the riots were not in danger . But here comes the man now back . In a blog Zahi Hawass announced that countless treasures have been obscured or destroyed . Registration of missing objects is crucial , but the turmoil is not over yet ...
On the blog of the famous archaeologist , the damage and thefts put on a list . And it's a pretty long list . Thus, the warehouses where many antiquities were stored got it rough time . Criminals they raided and various precious objects included. What exactly is missing , is still unclear.Experts are the remaining objects are in addition to the complete list of old treasures to laying .
tombs
But even outside the tangent : criminals forced several tombs of pharaohs and other important Egyptian icons inside . Some tombs have been completely destroyed. Of example . Ken - Amun It was the only tomb ever found . Nineteenth dynasty There are several tombs damaged and parts were stolen . In addition, there are reports of several illegal excavations .
storage
It is clear that the situation is much more serious than Hawass the outside world was made to believe few months ago. Archaeologists who worked until shortly before the riots in Egypt , must respect from abroad with sorrow . In particular, the thefts from warehouses hurt .Much of the material which is stored here has never been well studied. In addition to the objects thus be a lost hope answers .
To our knowledge , the thieves do not know what they are looking for they usually do not go off with the most precious objects. But they also bring : it's all old and therefore very valuable . Many of the items will be offered on the black market in the short term, as experts expect . It is important that the Egyptians record the missing items as soon as possible so that they can be . Intercepted on the black market But big question is whether that registration is possible in the short term . The interim government has still not all on track . and many archaeologists
are located abroad
