Then, ithrough deception, he took the head to Germany. "He told the director of the Inspection of Middle Egypt’s Antiquities Gustave Lefebvre that the statue was made of gypsum, but it was made of good limestone, and Egyptian law prohibited the exit of any piece made of limestone". After the disclosure of the "crime", the archaeologist was attacked by both states, thrown out of high society. Was it worth it? Definitely yes) The story happened in 1913
