Minister of Antiquities Mohamed Ibrahim said the ministry has spotted an auction on eBay for 125 ancient Egyptian artifacts in the United States and asked the site to cancel the sale.
“We spotted more than 1,000 pieces on that site,” Ibrahim said, adding that he received a letter from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry confirming that the site agreed to stop the sale because the owners of the pieces failed to present title deeds.
