Egyptian prosecutors¹ charged eight museum workers with the botched restoration of the burial mask of Tutankhamun. Having apparently² 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.
