Only artefacts which were too heavy for looters to carry out of the museum were not stolen. More than 1,000 items were taken, with just 46 left on display. It is feared the sculpture, titled the Daughter of the Paraoh Akhenaten, will now vanish on the black market. It is a masterpiece, said archaeologist Monica Hanna. It was the highlight of the museum, and even though there were other highlights people went there to see the daughter of Akhenaten. I think the looters knew what they were taking. archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot/2013/11/statue-of-tutankhamuns-sister-stolen-in.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheArchaeologyNewsNetwork+%28The+Archaeology+News+Network%29#.UorCeSeneT8
