So comes to its conclusion, the theft of Egyptian antiquities by J. Tokely Parry, a man who was cool at his craft, but the opportunity he faced was the result of the prohibition of the antiquities trade out of Egypt.
Nothing will ever stop the illegal trade in works as important as the head of Amenhotep III, but instead may make it unnecessary for people to damage an antiquity to disguise it for sale as another object.
Egypt can profit from redundant antiquities instead of spending its resources chasing artifacts and spending money on filling its jails with smugglers of secondary objects.
