Egypt calls in Interpol to reclaim 3,000-year-old Tutankhamun artefact that was sold at a London auction for £4.75million

Tutankhamun is thought to have become a pharaoh at the age of nine and to have died about ten years later

  • Egypt have asked Interpol to 'issue a circular to trace' a 3,000-year-old relic
  • The quartz Tutankhamin artefact was sold for £4,746,250 earlier this month
  • But documents proving it left Egypt legally have not been provided, fueling speculation it may have been stolen from a temple complex in the 1970s 

The hunt is on for an ancient Tutankhamun artefact, that could have been stolen in the 1970s, after it was sold in London for $6 million.

Less than a week after the 3,000-year-old artefact was sold at Christie's auction house in London, Egypt's National Committee for Antiquities Repatriation (NCAR) asked Interpol to 'issue a circular to trace' it.

It has been alleged the relic is missing paperwork — which means it may have been stolen from the Karnak Temple complex just north of Luxor in the 1970s.

The 11-inch 'Boy King' statue was sold for £4,746,250 ($5,970,000 or €5,290,000) to an unknown buyer in early July.

The NCAR — headed by Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany — also called upon Britain to 'prohibit the export of the sold artefacts' until Egyptian authorities were shown the documents.

It never should've gone this far. Yes it was stolen and there's more where it came from!
