		The same museum is likewise resisting attempts by Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, to give up the famed Rosetta Stone -- named after the northern Egyptian town of Rosetta where it was found in 1799 -- an artifact crucial to the decipherment of hieroglyphs.
		If the world of antiquities collecting is inherently shot through with argument and dispute, however, this must be separated out from the controversy surrounding the sale and purchase of manifestly illegal items.
		These are objects that have either been stolen from museums and archaeological storerooms, or else dug up in unauthorized excavations, and then spirited away from their country of origin and sold abroad, in direct contravention of both national and international law.

		In this image released by the Egyptian Antiquities Authority on Feb. 9, 2006, an archaeologist works in a shaft leading to a new tomb discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, outside Luxor, Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2006.
		Egypt's antiquities authority has said only that the single-chamber tomb contains five wooden sarcophagi, in human shapes with colored funerary masks, surrounded by 20 jars with their pharaonic seals intact and that the sarcophagi contain mummies, likely from the 18th Dynasty, some 3,500-3,300 years ago.
		Photos released by the Supreme Council of Antiquities showed the interior of the tomb the bare stone walls undecorated with at least five sarcophagi of flened wood amid white jars, some apparently broken.

		The rarity of the discovery continues to fuel wild speculation on the identity of the mummies, with some even predicting that remains of the most beautiful queen in history, Nefertiti, may be among them.
		Much of the speculation could end on March 10, when the tomb is officially opened and the contents of the seven sarcophagi inside are examined and photographed by Hawass, Schaden and their staffs.
		Though it is not yet high season for the area’s antiquities sites — which include the temples of Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and the tombs at the Valley of the Kings — Fahmy says she has been completely booked since the find’s announcement, and her tour schedule is full up well into summer.

		Since Hawass became director of Egypt's 34,000-member Supreme Council of Antiquities in 2002, many Egyptologists agree that the feisty 59-year-old archaeologist has done more than anyone yet to bring Egyptian civilization to the world stage, appearing on cable television, writing newspaper articles, traveling the world giving lectures and launching exhibits of Egyptian treasures.
		He is pressuring the Egyptian parliament this year to increase the penalty for stealing antiquities from five years to 25 years in prison.
