"Very bad news folks: Saqqara being majorly looted. Reports from ground contacts (verified and trusted+ witnesses )are that numerous people (I was told "thousands") digging day and night. Maia seems to be fine(?)---Serapeum broken into and partially set on fire, lots of Ibis mummies taken. Every tomb there was broken into. The army can chase them away during the day, but the night is different. I need *another* ground confirmation/witness. Can anyone get close enough to take photos? Can someone please contradict this?"
