What a loss.... and what a travesty. The Egyptian government is clearly more interested in the tourist dollars that these antiquities draw in than in any serious scientific studies. They are "hell-on-wheels" in making foreign archeologists jump through administrative hoops before allowing any exploration but have no such controls on their own ham-fisted actions.
Shame, shame on them.
