Experts discuss moving King Tut artifacts

-

Archeologi­sts and conservati­on experts met in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the safe transporta­tion of King Tutankhamu­n’s throne, chests and bed from the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo to a new one being built on the other side of the Egyptian capital. Moving items belonging to King Tut has become a particular­ly sensitive issue since 2014, when the beard attached to the ancient Egyptian monarch’s golden mask was accidental­ly knocked off.
