Beware if that thing is cursed.
Thanks for this link:
...The other layer of irony here is that the collection this artifact was stolen from was once part of the collection at the Louvre in Paris until 2021 when, at the peak of wokeness, Western museums "returned" many artifacts to their home countries where they were discovered.Thieves melt down 3,000-year-old bracelet worn by pharaoh after swiping it from Egyptian museum | Not the Bee | Jesse James | September 22, 2025
Tricky those Egyptians.
They can always make a copy.
If it wasn’t before...
Yes. The irony is that so much has been “returned” to be lost by Egypt.
The same Egypt that created Lake Nasser to drown the past of Egypt that could not be exported.
Of course, I’m not saying these objects would be safe, anymore, in London, either...

“That’s AmeneMORE!”
“Sorry, the card says MOPE.”
“That’s a misprint!”
What greed.
😁
Yes.
It’s gold. Just melt it back down and shape it back into a look with a blueberry in the middle.
exactly, and with our modern tools, it would end up looking a lot better
Sometime in the last century, Egyptian antiquities take out of Egypt have been “returned” to Egypt, with apologies from England, France, and museums all over the world..... that sounds so noble..... BUT the people in Egypt now that we are “returning” all the treasure to—— are not Egyptian, they are Arabs, descended from muslim invaders, so we are taking priceless artifacts and handing them over to a bunch of Arabs who neglected carrying them off and melting them down in the first place. Skuze me if I can’t get too upset.
Brass is cheaper!
the best genetic traces of ancient Egyptians are the Egyptian Copts, who the Arab Muslim Egyptians are busily murdering and persecuting.
😊
A shame.
1970s and 80s when gold and silver prices went up, thieves in the US had a big trend of stealing people’s jewelry from home invasions and then melting them down for the gold. some even had equipment in their unmarked vans parked in the driveway to melt them so cops wouldn’t link the gold to the homeowners’ insurance records. And gold is easier to sell than jewelry listed on police records for legitimate dealers to watch for.
Drug addicts just steal copper here.
