EGYPT-CAIRO-LOOTED COFFIN-RETURN

The coffin of Nedjemankh is displayed at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, Egypt, on Oct. 1, 2019. A gilded coffin that dated back to the Ptolemaic dynasty, dissolved in 50 B.C., was displayed on Tuesday in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) in Cairo's Fustat district. The coffin of Nedjemankh, an ancient Egyptian priest, was returned to Egypt on Wednesday after it was determined to be a looted antiquity, said Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, Khaled al-Anany in a press conference.
