Here we have the newly restored mummy of a child named Amenhotep, whose mummy was damaged during the robbery of the Cairo Museum in January 2011. The looters who entered the museum via a skylight broke the head off Amenhotep, and today it is being re-exhibited in the new display of the artifact, now restored, which was damaged during that event.
An amazing restoration job by the museum's specialists, who restored many of the objects now on display, of which 29 artifacts involved in the rampage include 18 objects, including Amenhotep, which never left the museum but were badly damaged, and 11 others that were stolen and
returned.
