Investigators said the thieves had cut a hole large thickness of the cover concrete tunnel where more than 7,000 ancient coins are stored. The protection of the metal cabinets of the dam was breaking apart. The experts here are not those of the foul. We know exactly what she needs to find Where's because they never touched the antique cabinet contains other treasures hidden in the basement of the National Commercial Bank located in Benghazi Libya.
However, many other artifacts in gold, ivory and precious stones disappeared from the place of storage. Although the theft happened earlier this year but the government NTC hidden until recently.
