Neuigkeiten (oder Propaganda) vom Mann mit Hut zum Museum:
Again, I want to tell everyone that all the fights and fires in Tahrir Square that many people saw on television yesterday did not affect the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, at all. There were rumors that began last night that claimed the museum was on fire. I was in contact with the control room of the museum all throughout the night. The cameras of the control room can see outside of the museum into the gardens and also outside of the surrounding walls.
Ich möchte folgendes herausheben:
I am the only source of continuing truth concerning antiquities, and these rumors are aimed at making the Egyptian people look bad.
I want people to know that only two things have happened so far: 1) The break-in at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, resulting in 70 broken objects, all of which can and will be restored, and 2) The break-in at the storage magazine at Qantara, in the Sinai.
I want everyone to relax, and know that I am here and we are all watching with open eyes.
Und ich hatte schon Angst...
