So much for sending priceless antiquities back to unstable countries.

These should have been locked up weeks ago.

That second picture sure looks like it came from a similar story out of Baghdad ten years ago.

On the brighter side some REAL Egyptian Antiquities will be for sale and will make it to what’s left of the Civilized World...

Sounds like a rehash of LA in 1968.

i don’t remember any museums looted in that riot.

Was it LACMA which was pretty new and very far from the rioting. Or the county museum?

That is because Israel is the only non-Muslim country in the ME.

No, no. There's no fighting in the streets. The museums will be open during normal hours tomorrow. Nothing has been looted. That is crazy talk.
