Las estátuas doradas de Tutankhamon sobre una barca de papiro o sobre una pantera, han desaparecido. Al menos por las fotos que se han publicado ayer.

Statues of Tutankhamun damaged/stolen from the Egyptian Museum

January 29th, 2011 by Margaret

UPDATE Jan 30th: the mummies of Tutankhamun’s great-grandparents damaged?

Devastating footage from Al Jazeera posted on Twitter and Flickr now shows significant damage and destruction in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Some of these images can be found at these sites. The footage appears to show wooden statues from the tomb of Tutankhamun with the gilded figure of the king ripped from the smashed bases. Images below show the statues in their original state, and their current condition:
