BBC News - Looted Libyan treasure 'in Egypt'
The so-called "Treasure of Benghazi," a bunch of ancient coins and such, was retured to Libya from Italy in 1961. Then it sat in a bank vault in Benghazi, until the Libyans could get around to building a museum for the stuff. In 2011, it was still in the bank vault, with no museum in sight--since Mr. Gaddafy had other priorities--and then the revolution came and, in the chaos, Somebody made off with the artifacts. Some pieces may be showing up in markets in Egypt.
Again, DON'T BUY ANCIENT STUFF ON @#$% EBAY!
