Should market countries stop buying antiquities from Egypt until order is restored?
Egypt’s cultural heritage is at risk. The current unrest only underscores its vulnerability. While our concern must first focus on restoring security and stability for the people, we must protect Egypt's cultural heritage because information lost to looting can never be replaced.
Until order is restored, we believe that if the demand for Egyptian antiquities is curtailed, if not stopped, the loss of Egypt's cultural patrimony during this tumultuous time would be curbed. What do you think?

The Egypt Effect: Some Thoughts on What it All Means
I want to share some thoughts about Egypt. I don’t mean to focus on the specifics of the events occurring there (though I will briefly); you can find better sources for that than me. I want to say what it has meant for me, and what I think some of its wider implications might be for those of us in the United States.
