"King Tut statue among missing Egypt treasures," CNN Wire Staff. February 13, 2011.

Seventeen artifacts from the Egyptian Museum of Cairo were missing after a break-in on the night of January 28th. One of the missing treasures included a gilded wood statue of King Tutankhamen being carried by a goddess. The criminals vandalized statues and display cases and stolen jewelry from the gift shop, ironically not long after protests against President Mubarak began in Cairo.
