King Tut’s Beard
Lesson Brief
Al Arabiya
On January 24, Al Arabiya reported that Egyptian authorities charged eight museum employees with negligence after a failed attempt to reattach the blue and gold braided beard to the young king's burial mask with adhesive. There are several theories as to how the beard was detached from the mask in 2014, including suggestions that it was broken during inventory or cleaning operations in the museum.
