Egypt is suspending ties with France's famous Louvre museum until the latter returns artifacts that it knew were stolen when it purchased them, the head of the country's antiquities council said Wednesday.
Today, I met Cleopatra's lawyer. Well, not her lawyer but someone who is determined to defend the legendary queen against centuries of bad publicity.
Egyptian archaeologists unveiled on Thursday a 4,000-year-old
"missing pyramid" that is believed to have been discovered
by an archaeologist almost 200 years ago and never seen again
Archaeologists exploring an old military road in the Sinai have
unearthed 3,000-year-old remains from an ancient fortified city, the
largest yet found in Egypt
(LUXOR, Egypt) -- The face of King Tut was unshrouded in public for the first time on Sunday -- 85 years after the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh's golden enshrined tomb and mummy were discovered in Luxor's famed Valley of the Kings.
Egyptian archaeologists have found what they said could be the oldest human footprint in history in the country's western desert, the Arab country's antiquities' chief said on Monday.
She's 2,500 years old, stunningly beautiful and at the center of the latest smuggling scandal to have sullied the world of antiquities.
