Further updates on the state of Egyptian antiquities drhawass.com - Zahi Hawass
The limestone statue of Akhenaten with the blue crown (the one that headlined the CNN story about a "King Tut statue") has been returned to the museum in Cairo. Story is that a teenaged protester "found" it near the museum, took it home, and was, uh, convinced by his parents to turn it in. (Similar stories abound from Baghdad.) Anyway, Akhenaten is back. Slightly broken, but fixable. Also more details on damage/looting at other sites in Egypt.
