The Luxor Times blog claims to have some "exclusive" photos of the smuggled Egyptian antiquities which are to be returned to Egypt by a British court order after Neil Kingsbury failed to sell them. Unfortunately all five have been published before in Al Ahram, so not very exclusive. Still, it is good to hear they are headed home. The fate of another item Kingsbury reportedly sold, "a painted stone relief of a man and woman – that he bought for a few hundred pounds was sold for £13,000 at auction" is unknown. "The buyer has reportedly so far declined to return the item".
