A History Sold In Auction For The Highest Bidder

Next October 27th Christie’s is going to hold an auction for a huge collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in London for the highest bidder and strangely neither the supreme council of antiquities nor our Egyptian embassy in London does anything regarding this huge insult to our history and in our heritage.
Ancient artifacts whether from the Pre-dynastic era to 10th Century AD are going to be sold in the auction. All the artifacts were parts of private of collection which means that they had left their mother country illegally. Zahi Hawas should not wait the kind heart of the private collectors to give back what their grandparents took with no right from our country.
Here are our artifacts which are going to be sold in the auction with names, dates and number of lots.

This is not the first time something like this happens and despite that Zahi Hawas once managed to stop similar auction once or twice but I am amazed how no one seems to care about this outrageous auction especially it is in the same time he managed to restore our relics from the Louvre and in a fight with Germans to restore Nefertiti’s head !!
Neglecting this type of auctions gives the impression that we only talk and care about our antiquities for political reasons like in the case of the Louvre.
By the way on the same day of that auction in London , another auction in Dubai will sell a collection of paintings by our most significant contemporary artists like  Mahmoud Said to Gazbia Sary and Seif Wanly !!!!!!!!!!!!!
