Cairo woke up to shocking news: a priceless golden bracelet belonging to Pharaoh Amenemope had gone missing from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. The bracelet, weighing 600 grams and featuring a stunning spherical lapis lazuli bead, was last seen in the museum’s restoration lab.

This rare piece is part of King Amenemope’s collection from the Third Intermediate Period. It was scheduled to travel to Rome for the upcoming Treasures of the Pharaohs exhibition. Museum insiders call it one of the most exquisite examples of royal jewelry. Its disappearance is therefore even more alarming.

Investigators are scrambling to figure out what happened. Footage from the museum’s surveillance cameras is being reviewed, but it’s still unclear whether this was a case of organized theft or simple negligence.

The loss of such a significant artifact is more than just a security issue—it’s a cultural shock. For Egypt, whose history is closely tied to its ancient treasures, the bracelet is a piece of the nation’s story.

As authorities continue their investigation, the public waits anxiously. Will the missing Pharaoh bracelet be recovered before it disappears forever into the black market? Or has one of Egypt’s most precious artifacts slipped through the cracks? The mystery hangs over the Egyptian Museum, leaving everyone wondering how a treasure of a Pharaoh could vanish.
