 | Egyptian police arrested a museum employee and three accomplices after a priceless ancient gold bracelet was stolen from Cairo’s Egyptian Museum in September 2025. It was sold for about $3,735 USD and then melted down. |
The 3,000-year-old bracelet, a gold band adorned with lapis lazuli beads, dated back to the reign of Amenemope, a pharaoh of Egypt’s 21st Dynasty (1070-945 BC).
 | The 3,000-year-old bracelet was being restored in a laboratory when it went missing from the Egyptian Museum. Amenemope was a pharoah of the 21st dynasty who ruled Egypt from 993 to 984 B.C. His burial was notable for being one of three entirely intact royal burials known from ancient Egypt. Known for its deep blue hue and golden flecks, lapis lazuli was highly prized in ancient Egypt for its association with the gods and healing powers. |
