Also we will apparently see the final version of what was stolen tomorrow, if it looks like the version that has been prematurely leaked, I may have to modify some of my earlier conclusions... <br /><br />I think Hawass may be as much as a victim as the rest of us trying to find out what really (might have) happened.Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-15958934238188625442011-03-03T14:28:29.340-08:002011-03-03T14:28:29.340-08:00Great amateur sleuthing, Paul!

Do you have any information on what security arrangements were in place at the museum on the night of the looting: how many people were in the museum, how many were armed police, how many were unarmed guards, how many were curatorial or other staff? Did the security cameras include recording devices?<br /><br />On what basis do you claim that the operation was probably planned several hours in advance and that entry was not through the skylight? If not through the skylight, how did that story come to be presented?<br /><br />If you suspect that certain items might have been moved between 29th January and two days later, could that have happened without Hawass knowing about it? Didn't he show up at the museum on the morning of the 30th?Larry Rothfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525764497697221380noreply@blogger.com
