Egypt
It still breaks my heart to see the damage ravaged upon artifacts that have lasted in pristine condition for more than 3000 years and broken for no reason. Now the good folks at the Egyptian museum Cairo have worked their magic and put back together what can be put back together.
The museums 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 the figure of the boy king will hopefully return some day along with the many shabtis of Yuya that are still missing.
Congratulations a job well done!
