The most significant of the damaged pieces was the Golden Harp of Ur. But investigators determined that the golden head on the damaged antiquity, feared missing, was only a copy. Museum officials confirmed to investigators that the original head was placed in a storage vault at the Iraqi Central Bank sometime before the war.

Count me among those who got fooled by the initial news reports.

Grrrr.

I was more concerned that they might have gotten the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
