I was asked to comment on the statue of Akhenaten agent (JE 43580) subtracted from the Cairo Museum on January 28 and renewed on February 16 last year. On the Web began to spread through the news that the one shown on the site Zahi Hawass is false. I do not know how it can be blown out this news. Perhaps it is part of that pleasure for conspiracy to cultivate a bit 'all in the depths. I'm sorry to disappoint but those who thought such a thing. This is the real original. Find one of the photographs, taken by my friend Amin Ahmed and published on the website of Zahi, below. Look at her.

missing the tray with the offers that had already was recovered inside the museum. No forger could have known that it was a separate piece. It also clearly see the red stains the stone groin and below the left knee. The blue crown has almost the same shortcomings that result in previously published photographs. The stucco was used to fill the rectangular hole in the base (alabaster) which was inserted in the statue is finally visible. No. That is exactly recovered the statue of the original. Be sure and rejoice.
I'm spending the weekend in Montepulciano, my beloved home that I managed to regain after months of absence. There I could see my Egyptian treasures. A pp. 208-209 appear alongside the statue of King Tut on Panther (JE 60714) and on the boat of papyrus (JE 60709), the two valuable sculptures that have been damaged (the second is still missing) in the days of protest Midan el-Tahrir. In the museum were in two different windows. In my book I had in common because of their typological similarity. Quell'accostamento now appears to me as a sad premonition.
Facts Cairo distracted me and I drifted away from the explanations that I am interested in treating this blog. Surely I'll be back to talk about things Egyptology, but beginning Monday really tell about my competition.
