Breaking: OMG they destroyed and looted the Tut exibit!

[Procrustes Stretched]

Just saw this on CNN and i am appalled !

It would seem that some parts of the mobs have damaged and possibly looted the king Tut exhibit in Cairo.


I will look for a link

Will the world really miss it?

You may not miss it Philistine.

I'll see it on video.

I'm hoping that King Tut exhibit was unharmed, I'm not finding anything saying that it was. Early this morning, al Jazeera was reporting the looting and vandalism and the military's and many citizens efforts to keep it from spreading.

Film I saw, didn't lead to conclusion of King Tut, rather valuable antiquities of metal works and statues. So I'm crossing my fingers. Two mummies though are reported destroyed, more would be possible.

This whole discussion is making me want to unpack Will and Ariel Durant's, Age of Civilization series.

You mean you don't have one opened and on your night stand ?

Nope, have been packed up for two years. Might have to start opening boxes. 11 volumes, each nearly 5-6 lbs. LOL!

Same thing that happened in Iraq back when the second Iraq war started.

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Looters ransack Baghdad museum

yes well, ...at least we won't be blamed for it this time.

Actually, you will.
There;s already a leaked link between Washington D.evils C.apital and the rioters leaders.

King Tutankhamun 1323 BC​

In the museum that mask is sitting in a totally dark chamber with a light shining down on it. pure gold and onyx and lapis stone. it takes your breath away.

Breaking:

They are reporting that nothing from the museum of antiquities has been stolen...just vandalized.

If that is the case, then I would put forward that quite possibly forces of Mubarak were sent to destroy and they simply vandalized.

I could easily see this happening. I hope so.

Why in the world would he want to do that?

Although there is no evidence, it would make perfect sense.

Send one's forces to destroy priceless artifacts that are loved by your country's citizens. Then proceed to blame it on the demonstrations and those forces who have been causing trouble. In this case, the Pro-Democracy people. With the excuse of protecting national security and protecting the country's artifacts, cracking down on the citizens and taking away civil liberties.

Tl;dr: Manufacture a crisis in order to exploit it to take away civil liberties and destroy the demonstrators. Plus, get public opinion on your side.

True that.

Protesters could be losing steam. The Egyptian People may decide to side with Mubarak over chaos. Mubarak may survive. I know the Media is already declaring him done,but i wouldn't be surprised if he survives. Stay tuned i guess.

Over 100 dead, a couple thousand injured.
And the beheading of 2 mummies some find apalling?
Obviously, you missed the sarcasm in my post.

 

[Samson]

I just heard the crowd have formed a line around several of their museums....unreal.

The people may be protecting their own property

You mean mummies might protect thier own property?




What a unique POV you always bring to the table, Truthmatters.

When the International Media hype dies down,Mubarak will then begin to fight back. My prediction is that the Media will be leaving Egypt behind long before Mubarak does. When the cameras are turned off,look out Protesters.
