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.

In a miraculous case of ‘the right place at the right time’ an Egyptian researcher at the University of Aberdeen has discovered an ancient artefact which has been missing for over a century.
Wooden splits found in a cigar tin in the university’s Asia collection, could have been mistaken for something insignificant.
But the relic has now been confirmed as belonging to the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
So why is the discovery so important, and how did the artefact end up in Aberdeen of all places?
