Artifacts stolen at artifact theft show

We’re not sure this is a synchronicity, but it certainly sound like the law of attraction – like attracts like. It’s a bit outdated, but still meaningful – in a strange way.

Organizers of an exhibition called ‘Antiquities Theft in Israel’ could not have chosen a more fitting name. On Jan. 20,  burglars broke into the Korin Maman Museum in the coastal city of Ashdod where artifacts recovered from the black market were on display. The thieves snatched a silver ring belonging to Alexander the Great and other items including gold earrings, pottery and coins from the Hellenistic period. The exhibit ironically  had been set up to educate the Israeli public about how to counter theft of  antiquities.

That’s a summary from an article in the UK Telegraph. We can only hope these items will be recovered from the black market, and maybe exhibited in another show of stolen artifacts.
