Looting update

Filed under: Antiquities Market, Egypt — acagle @ 10:20 am

Whoops:

An attempt to smuggle 11 Graeco-Roman artefacts out of Cairo International Airport was foiled on Thursday when the Tourism and Antiquities Police arrested an Egyptian man at the customs section. The man claimed to be carrying replicas from Khan El-Khalili bazars. The pieces he was carried were reportedly stolen from an as yet unidentified archaeological site in Egypt.

Little slideshow thingie with photos of some of the objects at the link.
