would be stolen. Unfortunately, he died
without revealing its hiding place, so 1t Is

from an Egyptian temple In 1888 and
brought TO Europe has miraculously dis
appeared. On II is engraved the whole
history of the Pharaohs and II could easily

its discovery, but the famous cup has van

Another reasure which has vanished in

She made a pretty picture, despite
