is rare for me. The power struggle in Egypt has me in tears, I am worried about
our American excavating teams and my heroes Dr. Hawass and Dr. Weeks. I found out yesterday
that some of the protesters broke into the Cairo Museum and looted the gift shop. Some
of the looters went right for 13 display cases looking for gold and precious artifacts,
which the Cairo museum has tons of. It was later confirmed today that the protesters beheaded two
mummies and broke several exhibits. They have also broke into tombs in Abusir and Saqqara.
I am horrified to think that 3,000 years of Egyptian history maybe destroyed and I have to
just sit here with tearful eyes and watch. I cant believe that we as the United States are
not helping the government get a handle on this madness, but what do I expect from a non-christian
president. I remember feeling this way when Katrina hit New Orleans, I cried for days and now
it is happening to my Egypt! I fear that these people that want to take over will make it hard
for the very important historical work to continue. The U.S. is asking all Americans to leave Egypt,
my fear is what will happen if they never let us back in and I never see my Egyptian home. I will be
honest, I don't care about the government, but I care A LOT about the history there and these people
seem to have NO respect for their own history. Please pray that your children not only get to see these
historic monuments but they are still around for them to see.
Goodnight all; See ya'll tomorrow
