First, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass told ABC News that a 3,000 year-old sculpture of Tutankhamun’s head due to be sold by Christie’s next month was looted from Luxor’s Karnak Temple. The bust is expected to fetch around GBP 4 mn in the auction, but Hawass — the former Antiquities Minister — is demanding that the artifact is returned to Egypt.
