Whoever it was that has vandalised and taken items has probably not gotten over Howard Carter and all the others…..
Sad though it is to see, this is not Egyptian heritage and means diddly-squat (or less) to the locals in any historic sense. It is probably just a piece of junk which may have some scrap value, and they are not exactly well disposed to the Brits, either, so it is only to be expected.
Given some of the stories I’ve heard about the way their own antiquities were treated by the local oiks during last year’s festivities, I can’t say I’m surprised either. Though our home grown grown pikeys and chavs could no doubt give them a run for their money.
What bothers me about it most is, the more damaged it is, the fewer clues or leads there are to try and determine what happened to the pilot, especially if he turns out to still be one of the missing.
