Egyptian Heritage at risk

Personally, it devastates me to hear that smugglers/looters are going out of their ways and underground to find ways to enter the Egyptian heritage sites so that they may steal treasures that were meant to be preserved and conserved [Click the link below to watch the BBC video about this current issue].
