A sensational incident occurred at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. It was reported that a unique artifact directly related to ancient history - a gold bracelet belonging to Pharaoh Amenemopet - has disappeared without a trace. This was reported by local and international media, citing sources from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.
Pharaoh Amenemopet ruled from 993 to 978 BC and was one of the most influential kings of Egypt in his time. The lost bracelet was made of pure gold and decorated with lapis lazuli stones. According to museum data, its weight is approximately 600 grams. The artifact, dating back more than 3,000 years, was of great importance to Egyptologists.
The loss of the bracelet was discovered during the inventory process in the museum. However, it is not yet known when and by whom it was last seen. Local media assess this situation as "the biggest blow to cultural heritage."
Currently, an internal investigation has begun at the museum, and a special commission has been formed. Although the culprits have not yet been found, the ministry has sent an official message to all airports, seaports, and land border posts. Photos of the missing bracelet have been distributed to the authorities, and measures are being taken to prevent its illegal export from the country.
The National Museum in Cairo is one of the largest cultural treasures in the world. More than 17 thousand exhibits are stored there. In particular, the famous funeral mask of Pharaoh Amenemopet is among the museum's most unique exhibits. Currently, officials are conducting a complete inventory in the restoration department to ensure that no other items have been lost.
