Egyptian looters destroy 2,000-year-old mummies in bid to steal King Tut's treasures
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

The army was on guard at Egypt’s most popular tourist sites last night after two 2,000-year-old mummies in the country’s national museum were destroyed by looters attempting to steal the treasures of King Tutankhamun.

Soldiers were positioned at the Pyramids and Cairo’s Egyptian Museum – the holding place for Tutankhamun’s priceless golden mask and other artifacts – on the fifth day of anti-government demonstrations in the country’s capital.

Nine men broke into the Egyptian Museum in the early hours of yesterday, taking advantage of damage caused to the building’s security by a fire in the neighbouring headquarters of the ruling National Democratic Party.

They were caught by police and a crowd of civilians while carrying out the skulls of two mummies and two statues estimated to be more than 2,000 years old.

One statue, believed to be of Tutankhamun, was broken into two pieces by the thieves, although officials said they hoped to be able to repair it.

Zahi Hawass, chairman of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said: ‘They tried to attack and rob from the showcases of King Tut, but they failed. These people are criminals, they are not true Egyptians. The nine men were caught carrying skulls and two statues, one of which was broken. But the army are now guarding the museum and all the museums are now safe.’

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

Looks like having ALL of thier treasures in 1 Museum isn't such a good idea. 'Ol Hawass might want to think about it, after this..stop being such an ass, making all the other Museums in the world return their antiquities.
He got lucky that it was stopped at only 2 mummies and a couple of statues.

Before the army arrived, young Egyptians - some armed with truncheons grabbed off the police - created a human chain at the museum's front gate to prevent looters from making off with any of the artefacts.

Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the would-be looters only managed to vandalise two mummies, ripping their heads off. They also cleared out the museum gift shop.

However, the museum's contents could still be damaged by the potential collapse of a neighbouring building gutted by fire, Hawass said.

This is the mind of a mass mind. If you take one man out and ask him what tf are you doing he will feel ashamed, but if you ask the mass they will boycott you. The mass consciousness is very different, it's most dangerous and is centered around action no matter what, destruction is the main goal somehow. THIS shows how primitive our collective consciousness is. It is to be treated as an organism per-se. That's why I am saying let it spread and clean everything around, nature has a "balance" plan for everything, all this even be it war will come to balance in the end, just wait and see it. No more dirty government and jew bankers after that, they either gonna be dead, or fled like cowards to another planets.
