I have been worried about destruction of antiquities in all of this. How sad.

Most Muslims have no respect for the pre-Islamic history and culture of Egypt. To them it is all trash.

It’s getting hard to tell the dummies from the mummies.

So much for any hope of future tourism revenue.

We don’t know if this is true.

Seems there are far more valuable and more easily sold items to be stolen from the museum.

Sad, very sad. I’ve had the chance to visit the museum several times while being deployed in support of Exercise Bright Star. Many beautiful items in there.

Tip to the looters- Burn yourself! It’ll have more of an impact, I’m telling you.

That is as dumb as the looters in South Central torching their own neighborhood stores during the Rodney King riots back when.

You would think Egyptians, of all people, would be culturally attached to these antiquities.

I guess not and it is truly a tragedy.

Very sad.

But not as sad as what will happen within a few days when food can’t get in the city.

I think we also need to keep in mind that some of the “looters” might be museum staff. Antiquities are worth a great deal of money on the black market and such unrest is perfect cover for theft. If I remember correctly, this is what was discovered to have happened to the Iraqi museums.

Islam is a disease upon mankind, a vile, barbaric, perverted, gutter ‘religion’ that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

It is a good thing that Zahi Hawass was unsuccessful in getting Germany to return the bust of Nefertiti. Losing that to a mob or looters would be kinda like losing the Mona Lisa.

Well, if looters broke into my house to harm my Mommie, I’d shoot’em dead!
