Pharaoh Amenemope's stolen gold bracelet


A hunt is underway after a priceless gold bracelet belonging to Amenemope was stolen. It disappeared from a museum in Cairo.
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.
