Protecting Egypt\'s antiquities during turmoil

[Robert Vermaat]

it would seem horrifically ironic, that if Egypt's cultural-historical significance was damaged and destroyed by angry mobs, et cetera, to lead to a further collapse of the country's economy and standing, seeing as international tourism is obviously a major leg the country is standing on.

Even more so, because in the past decade Egypt (with the indomitable Mr Hawass in front of the troops) has been screaming and threathening to get all their once-looted/sold ancient objects back... It would be very ironic if some of these objects were now lost..
