		<description><![CDATA[Finally, activists aim at creating an Open Source platform that will include photos and information of all the antiquities that have been stolen. Wikiloot will be the name of the new crowdsourcing platform, a new experiment on data mining. Its creator seems to be Jason Felch, the co-writer of Chasing Aphrodite, the story of the stolen statue of Aphrodite and its return to its native island of Sicily.Felch and his team are trying to raise the necessary funding for the creation of the platform. For more information on the project there is an article in the Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jun/06/wikiloot-crowdsourcing-stolen-artifacts You can also follow them on twitter @WikiLoot]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago robbers attacked one of the security guard of the Old Museum at Olympia and have stolen dozens of small bronze figurines, ceramic vases and other small artefacts. According to reports, they initially aimed at stealing a collection of gold artefacts but these were no longer hosted in the museum. The police, finally, released a list of these items. I present here the photos. If you want more information on any one of them, contact me and I will see what I can do. Lamps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;London (CNN) &#8212; The looting of a large collection of priceless coins, statues and jewelry from a bank vault during Libya&#8217;s recent civil war has highlighted the risk of looting during times of conflict. Interpol is hunting for the hoard of Roman and Hellenistic objects &#8212; dubbed the &#8220;Benghazi Treasure&#8221; &#8211;stolen from the city&#8217;s Commercial Bank in May 2011. But the theft is not an isolated incident. According to UNESCO&#8217;s Assistant Director-General for Culture Francesco Bandarin, the looting of antiquities and archaeological sites occurs regularly during times of conflict and even during peacetime. It is a problem that the UN agency is constantly battling. &#8220;In the present moment it is difficult for us to do much because the situation is still very precarious, there is no administration in place in [Libya], there are difficulties in communicating,&#8221; said Bandarin. It is difficult for us to do much because the situation is still very precarious Francesco Bandarin, Assistant Director-General for Culture, UNESCO Bandarin&#8217;s main fear is that the &#8220;Benghazi Treasure&#8221; will be dispersed or, worse, in the case of the coins, melted down and sold. The thieves reportedly drilled through the concrete ceiling of the bank vault to reach the coins and took only the most valuable items. &#8220;It looks targeted and well-planned, they knew what they were doing,&#8221; said Dr. Hafed Walda, a Libyan-born archaeologist and research fellow at King&#8217;s College, London. Few records of the treasure survive, making it even more difficult to locate, though experts believe the collection contained ancient coins excavated from Cyrenaica in Eastern Libya, as well as statues and some jewelry dating from later periods. Rumors that artifacts from the collection have surfaced in Egypt and in Tripoli are unconfirmed, and the race to find the treasure is ongoing.&#8221; From CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/11/world/europe/looted-treasure-libya/]]></description>
