Devastating footage from Al Jazeera posted on Twitter and Flickr now shows significant damage and destruction in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Some of these images can be found at these sites. The footage appears to show wooden statues from the tomb of Tutankhamun with the gilded figure of the king ripped from the smashed bases. Images below show the statues in their original state, and their current condition:

Idiots, what do politics have to do with national historic artifacts. Its their own history they're destroying.
A museum is the last thing you're going to hit.

Almost as stupid as..
Yes, we're pissed off with the government so now we're off to bomb a zoo.... and after that we'll take turns torching our own houses.

I see that the reports of vandalism and theft in the Cairo Museum are producing precisely the kind of comments required to vilify the Egyptian population which is currently fighting to rid itself of a corrupt government.

Does it not occur to anyone that such reports might be falsely circulated in order demean their cause ?.

There are so many pictures of damaged artefacts, are there any 'CCTV' images of the vandals and thieves in action I wonder?.

Personally, 'I' will only believe that which is proven to be fact, that which the 'Media' allows to filter through to the general public is only too easily manipulated and censored by interested parties.

If you catch my drift. :wink:

Hahaha they wished... They are destroying the history of those whom they killed to get there :roll:
I feel sorry for the Coptics. Only few people that actually have some roots from ancient Egypt.
