An ancient Egyptian pharaoh's 3,000-year-old bracelet was stolen from Cairo's Egyptian Museum and melted down for gold. The theft, discovered on September 9th, involved lax security procedures within a museum restoration lab. Four suspects, including a museum restoration specialist, have been arrested and confessed. The bracelet, belonging to Pharaoh Amenemope, was sold for approximately $4,000 before being melted. The incident sparked outrage and calls for improved security measures for Egypt's invaluable artifacts, both domestically and internationally.
