Italian Police recover stolen Sphinx

Post by Bullet Magnet »

Police in Italy say they have recovered a 2,000-year-old Egyptian sphinx stolen from a cemetery near Rome, about to be smuggled out of the country.

Found in a greenhouse of all places...

Not one of the more "ancient" Sphinxe's but from the Ptolemaic era.

The artricle is here, but I have covered all the key points, just that Journo's use lots of padding to tell the same story....:cg
