Who stole the King Amenemope-linked gold bracelet? Four people have been arrested after they confessed to playing a part in the stealing of a 3k-year-old gold bracelet linked to Pharaoh Amenemope from the Egyptian Museum, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday. One of the four — a restoration specialist at the museum — stole the bracelet and sold it to a jeweler for EGP 180k, who then sold it to a gold-foundry worker, who melted it down and reshaped it. Bloomberg and BBC have the story.
