Has the Statuette of Akhenaten been Found?

There are reports out today that the limestone statuette of the heretic king Akhenaten, 1332-1336 bc, has been found next to a garbage can in Tahrir Square. Unfortunately, there are no photos of it as of yet. The statuette is the most important of the objects believed stolen from the Cairo museum during the break-in of the museum two weeks ago.

The condition of the fragile statuette has not been reported.
