Search for Cleopatra to be resumed, although artefacts stolen during disturbances
Dominican Today

Martinez made the announcement Friday, but also revealed the theft of many of the artifacts she had already unearthed and the “disappearance” of the excavation equipment during the year-long turmoil in Egypt.
