Lost Great Pyramid of Giza artefact found in cigar box
The Guardian
A lost artefact from the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of only three objects ever recovered from inside the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, has been found in a chance discovery at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
Curatorial assistant Abeer Eladany, originally from Egypt, was reviewing items in the university’s Asia collection when she came across a cigar box marked with her country’s former flag.
Inside, she found several wooden splinters that she then identified as a fragment of wood from the Great Pyramid, which had been missing for more than a century.
