A serious incident occurred regarding the disappearance of a rare and ancient exhibit at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
It was announced that a gold bracelet belonging to Pharaoh Amenemopet has vanished without a trace. This event was widely covered in local and international media, based on sources from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.
Pharaoh Amenemopet ruled from 993 to 978 BC and was considered one of Egypt's famous rulers of his time. The missing bracelet was made of pure gold and decorated with lapis lazuli stones.
According to the museum's information, its weight is approximately 600 grams. This artifact has a history of over three thousand years and holds great significance for Egyptologists.
The disappearance of the bracelet was discovered during the museum's inventory process, but it is currently unknown when and by whom it was last seen. The local press regards this incident as the greatest blow to cultural heritage.
An internal investigation is currently underway at the museum, and a special commission has been established. Although the culprits have not yet been identified, the ministry has sent official warnings to all airports, seaports, and border posts.
Photographs of the missing bracelet have been distributed to official bodies, and measures are being taken to prevent its illegal export from the country. The National Museum in Cairo is considered one of the largest cultural treasures in the world.
The museum houses over 17,000 exhibits. Among them is the famous burial mask of Pharaoh Amenemopet, which is also one of the museum's most unique artifacts.
Currently, officials continue to conduct a full inventory in the restoration department to ensure that no other items are missing. This incident once again emphasizes the necessity of protecting cultural heritage.
