Whatever the truth about the scale and reasons for the looting of museum storerooms, archaeological sites and monuments in Egypt, it is clear that we need to be aware of the possibilities of looted objects appearing on foreign markets. SAFE has initiated a campaign: Should market countries stop buying antiquities from Egypt? SAFE (Saving Antiquities for Everyone) was created to raise awareness and gauge public opinion. Please join these efforts and invite your friends and colleagues to join and tell everyone. Responding to our campaign is a concrete act to help protect the archaeological heritage.
