本期内容:

Egyptian prosecutors charged eight museum workers with the botched restoration of the burial mask of Tutankhamun. Having apparently broken the pharaoh’s beard through carelessness, the accused, including two museum directors, allegedly made several attempts to repair it themselves, using the wrong glue and scratching the 3,000-year-old artifact as they scraped off the traces. It has now been properly restored.
