Congratulations to the Cairo Museum's Restorers!


It still breaks my heart to see the damage inflicted upon artifacts that have lasted in pristine condition for more than 3000 years and have been broken for no reason. Now the good folks at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo have worked their magic and put back together what can be put back together.

The museum's newly restored objects are being put back on display. Sadly, other objects are missing parts, such as the sitting figure of Tutankhamun on the head of a goddess. The goddess is in the museum, and the figure of the boy king will hopefully return someday, along with the many shabtis of Yuya that are still missing.

Congratulations, a job well done!
