Curbs on US Imports of Freshly-Surfaced Egyptian Antiquities Soon?


As part of US support for Egypt's current military government, a top US cultural official will soon be headed to Cairo to discuss pending US import restrictions on antiquities from Egypt:
Assistant US Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan will arrive in Egypt on Monday 7/4/2014 "to discuss a proposal submitted by Egypt to illegalize trading of Egyptian monuments in America".
I bet that's not really what the agreement will say. Now let's see one with London Auction Houses.
