We mentioned a few days ago that there were reports that the Benghazi Treasure had been looted from a vault in, of course, Benghazi (see: Benghazi Treasure Looted from Libya!!!!) and there have been plenty of subsequent reports, all very vague as to the contents of the ‘treasure’, with passing mention of coins and statuary. Outside of the latest report from the BBC (Libya’s historic treasures survive the revolution) there really have not been any more details given, save the passing mention in the latter that this looting took place back in May (!). Given that, Dorothy King’s latest post — which details what is actually known to have been in the treasure — is a very useful read:
