ContributorNetwork - After attempting to silence demonstrators in Cairo by cutting off the nation's Internet access did not work, government officials used violent security forces to stop demonstrators in a move that led to 63 deaths and more than 2,000 injures in less than 48 hours.

Now, according to Supreme Council of Antiquities chairman, Zahi Hawass, some protesters looted the Egyptian Museum, destroying two Pharaonic mummies in the process by cutting off their heads.
