A collection of unique ancient Egyptian artefacts is set to appear at an upcoming auction hosted by Christie's despite growing controversy over the house's violation of international treaties on cultural heritage protection. Their estimated prices reach hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
The "Antiques" auction is scheduled for 4 February 2025 and will feature 84 pieces that carry immense historical value, including artefacts from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultures. How did they leave Egypt?
