The theft of ancient Egyptian antiquities is once again catching the attention of the int’l press

The unfortunately familiar story of stolen Egyptian artifacts is making the news for the second time in as many weeks, this time with the theft of a limestone painting in a tomb in the Saqqara necropolis. The painting in the 4k+ year-old tomb of Khentika depicted a calendar that showed the year into the three seasons dictated by the Nile. Investigations into the disappearance continue.
