Stolen Pharaonic plaque back home soon from Belgium
Egypt-Belgium, Local, 4/29/2005
Egypt will retrieve a stolen rare Pharaonic engraving from Belgium soon, Culture Minister Farouq Hosni announced yesterday.
He said the 4,350-year-old piece was stolen by treasure thieves from Egypt in 1965 and smuggled to Belgium where it was sold to an antiquities collector and later on in 1973. It was purchased by the Royal Museum for Art and History in Brussels.
An Egyptian delegation will travel to Belgium to receive the invaluable work of art from the museum, said the chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawwas.
