Unless you have been living under a rock or in Mars/Jupiter, you would have been aware that Egypt has been going through a political mayhem since the end of 2010. Great for the Egyptians as they are beginning to take charge of their own country and government, though it is evident that there have been several hiccups along the way and consequences to their revolution.
As an Egyptologist-to-be, the negative effect of the revolution that concerns me most is (obviously) the Ancient Egyptian heritage i.e archaeological sites and museum objects.
Here is a link of all the damages done thus far:

And of course, until Egypt gets its act together, the future for Ancient Egypt remains uncertain.
