It will be a lawsuit for sloppy work while fixing the chin Tutenchamonowi in the museum in Cairo. A group of Egyptian restorers wants to sue the minister of antiquities for the way in which has been repaired funeral mask of Pharaoh. It was on the visible trace of adhesive.
It all started with the fact that the coming pre-3000 years beard mask fell off. It is not clear how it happened. Employees of the museum in Cairo remains silent, but thanks to the investigators took care of. According quoted by the media persons working in the museum, the mask would slip out of the hands of one of the employees. He managed to catch her, but at that moment to disengage from her chin.
