If you’d like to get involved to help stop the looting at El Hibeh and other Egyptian sites – here’s some contacts and some help from the Save El Hibeh Group…
The following paragraph can be cut and pasted into emails and sent to organisations and contact (see below for suggestions). We suggest that you put El Hibeh and Looting in the subject line.
I am appalled at the looting that is currently occurring at the ancient Egyptian site of El Hibeh as well as in numerous other places across Egypt. These sites represent the cultural heritage of Egypt and the world. It is imperative that looting be stopped immediately and that security is re-established and maintained. We urge you to take all necessary actions to make this happen.
Concerned,
You may wish to add points about the importance of tourism, the image of the country, etc.

Just to remind you of what is happening here’s some more images.
…done …. and spread the campaign…. I hope, a lot people do this and that this all will not be in vain. … The most ugly thing is, this lootings will avoid tourism coming back to egypt, because the most
people can´t separate the one kind of crime from another. They will still be afaraid to travel in a country where things like this happen… whicht makes the problems bigger….
Yes it’s a never-ending spiral, let’s hope the campaign can spread and halt the destruction at this site at least. Thanks so much for your support, please keep spreading the word.
Yes, of course… spreaded it now on all of my pages… I hope, it will be read by a lot of people…
Thank you so much Maya.
You are very welcome, it is my pleasure if I can help a little …
