PRETORIA, South Africa – King Tut’s sister is missing and Egypt has issued an international alert for her return.

UNESCO and Interpol are working with Egyptian authorities to recover the priceless artifact, a limestone figurine of the young pharaoh’s sister from the 14th century BC. The young girl holds a piece of fruit and her hair flows loosely on one side–a symbol of her youth–but her head is held high, a decidedly regal look on her face.

“This constitutes irreversible damage to the history and identity of the Egyptian people,” said Irina Bokova, the Director-General of UNESCO.

The statuette, “A Daughter of the Pharaoh Akhenaten,” may be considered the most important piece in the Malawi National Museum in the city of Minya, which was looted during a riot in August. The museum was ransacked, sarcophagi and display cases were smashed, and more than 1,000 pieces were taken from the museum. Items too big to be carried away were defaced.

Two teenager rioters said, “The government is destroying their people, so we are destroying this because it belongs to the government,” reports the Daily Telegraph.

I got it on Ebay, antiquities section. I’m pretty sure it’s genuine - it has “1340 BC” printed on the base.

Someday people will figure out that it is a really bad idea to keep any artifact of historic significance anywhere where muslims live

Sure is a bad idea. The Cairo Museum was thoroughly ransacked. Muzzies hate any artifacts that predate their “civilization”.

But they’ll sell them on the black market just the same. The artifacts the muzzies can’t move (Pyramids, Sphinx, Christian churches, etc.) they’ll simply destroy, just like the Bamiyan Buddhas.

Funny, she doesn't look a bit like him.

My first thought too. Was Clinton anywhere near?
