Would You Attack Your Mummy?

Would you take pleasure in destroying your cultural heritage?
 
A number of artefacts and exhibits at the The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (MEA) have suffered damage after looters broke into the attraction during the anti-government protests last week.
 
"It is believed that nine men got in the museum and decapitated two mummies and damaged other items, before the museum was cordoned off by the military as well as a group of protesters wanting to protect the museum.

A spokesperson for MEA said the damage is still being assessed but that officials are confident that the artefacts can be restored and repaired.
The museum houses world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities as well as nine mummies"
 
How sad, and ridiculous that these artefacts that have survived all this time are damaged in such a senseless way. I doubt those involved were trying to make any political point, simply using the demonstrations as an excuse to destroy and do what they liked.
 
It's not an attitude limited to Egypt as we saw in London a few weeks ago at the Cenotaph and other places.

Testimonial from Martyn Weeks, FR Safety Ltd

To whom it may concern
 
I would like to thank Tim Davies of Copper Phoenix for the outstanding work he has completed on my behalf.
 
Copper Phoenix was tasked with writing the content of a new website and setting up an online presence for F R Safety Ltd. Tim carried out my requirements professionally and within promised timescales, my business is reaping the rewards from my new social media sites.
 
I would have no hesitation in recommending Copper Phoenix to any person or company looking for an online presence and I am sure that they would receive the same professional service that I received.
 
Yours faithfully
 
Martyn Weeks
