In this investigation, Bab Masr reveals the smuggling routes that begin in the heart of Cairo, passing through Thailand and Hong Kong, before the Egyptian antiquities end up in the homes of collectors in Canada and the United States. The investigation is based on American documents, official testimonies, and customs seizure reports to map out one of the networks smuggling Egyptian antiquities. It begins with a doctor who carried artifacts in his suitcases, passes through shipping companies and forged ownership certificates, and ends with their sale at online auctions.
