Sotheby's is going to held an auction for antiques in New York on the next 5th of December 2007, they are going to sell antiques from the Ancient Egypt
Yes you read what I wrote correctly Statues from the Ancient Egypt are going to be sold.
Already they are going to sell 45 pieces, some of these pieces go back to the Predynastic Period , and can you imagine its actual value??
Already I wonder where are the ministry of Culture and the Savior star of Egyptian monuments Dr. Zahi Hawas from this circus??!! Or they only interested in Shiny golden stuff?? !!!
Even if they are small statues, these statues should return home to be exhibited in the Egyptian Museums not in the houses of the rich abroad!!!
Two auctions are going to be held actually one in New York and the other in London in December, the one in the big apple is going to sell more Egyptian Antiques than the one in the fog city
The New York 5th of December 2007 auction is called “Antiquities” and it will start at 2:00 PM, I guess GMT. From November 30th, 2007 till December 4th 2007 the people will have the opportunities to see the stuff of the auction if they are interested in the Sotheby’s showroom in NY.
There will be 137 pieces or lots shown in the auction, see a big number for you, but it is nothing in the auction business. Most of these lots are original Egyptian antique from Ancient Egypt. Some of these pieces were stolen from Egypt if not all of them during the 19th century and so Egypt has the right to restore every single Piece of them. Some of them are from a private Japanese Collection and some of them are from a private New Yorker Collection
You will be amazed about for how much our history is being sold at the hammer price?? Seriously these are priceless stuff!!
From the predynastic period to the Ptolemaic period, do you imagine the thousands of years we taking about here?? They are all go to the B.C period
Statues of people and Gods, Vases, Jars and artifacts
You can see all the lots here , starting from lot No.1 to 29 , then from lots No.105 to 120 ,the prices ranges between 4000 $ to 300,000$ "You have to register in order to see the details for free"
