Egypt's 3,000-year-old gold bracelet vanished from the Cairo museum and was stolen to be melted down, as confirmed by the country's interior ministry. The ancient artifact, dating back to King Amenemope's reign in 1,000 BC, was taken from the museum by a restoration specialist and sold to a gold foundry worker. The perpetrators confessed after their arrest, and the stolen money was seized by authorities.
