Looters hit Egyptian museum
By Tom Walker 31 Jan 2011
A number of artefacts and exhibits at the The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (MEA) have suffered damage after looters broke into the attraction during the anti-government protests last week.
It is believed that nine men got in the museum and decapitated two mummies and damaged other items, before the museum was cordoned off by the military as well as a group of protesters wanting to protect the museum.
A spokesperson for MEA said the damage is still being assessed but that officials are confident that the artefacts can be restored and repaired.
The museum houses world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities as well as nine mummies.
