But the story gets worse. It appears that the curators inadvertently got some of the epoxy on the face of the mask — and they used a spatula in an effort to get it off, damaging the relic even further

Use wrong epoxy on King Tut's mask, brehs.
Sounds like something McDonald's employees would do, not museum curators.

this is how they do nikkas.

Egypt has a fairly high unemployment rate. A job at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo should attract the best people in the country if not the world. Perhaps jobs are handed out has favors. including the higher up who wanted the job done quickly. Restoration of a valuable artifact should resemble a delicate surgical procedure.

The Egyptians have long since contaminated King Tut's every orifice and chamber. They have been graverobbing the ancient Egyptians for centuries.

Be careful which dynasty and tribe your defending with that statement.
Also, dont get ancient NUBIA and ancient EGYPT mixed up.
Ancient Egyptians were mixed blood. Not 100% of anything. That's why King Tut was an incestual baby. his mother and father were siblings. they were trying to keep their traits within the family.
Tut was Persian and African. Not 100% African.

Plz don't call them egyptians, we're insulting the memories of those black Egyptians who built this civilisation s...we should be real and just call them Arab Invaders

bu bu bu bu but sand cac's and islam love black people...

They treat our relics as if they gluing back together a broken fukking fridge ornament...

This is why we cant have nice things!

They over there using crazy glue on priceless artifacts! I would think professionals at Museums would have such a love for history they'd do everything in their power to prevent some shyt from breaking and if it did break, theyd have the care and know how to repair it without making it worse!

Reminds me of how the last existing, albeit stuffed dodo was treated. From A Short History of Nearly Everything:

"In 1775, some 70 years after the last dodo's death the director of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford decided that the institution's stuffed dodo was becoming unpleasantly musty and ordered it tossed on a bonfire...this was the last dodo in existence, stuffed or otherwise."
