Cosmic Log - Were Tut's treasures damaged?

Cosmic Log - Were Tut's treasures damaged?
Early and somewhat vague report on danger to the Cairo museum during unrest in the city. The party headquarters building that was on fire is next door to the museum and the fire posed some danger to the museum. It also appears that some damage to the museum happened, but the extent is not clear. I also wonder about the future of Dr. Hawass in case of regime change. He has been a hardworking protector of Egypt's antiquities, even though he does love getting his face on TV.
