CAIRO, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Eight employees of Cairo's Egyptian Museum will be charged with negligence over the mishandled reattachment of the beard of King Tutankhamun's mask.
According to a report by the Egyptian prosecutor, the beard piece of the iconic blue-and-gold braided mask broke off in August 2014 when workers took the mask off its display to fix an electrical problem in the round base that lit the mask.
