While I realize there are far greater injustices in the world to be outraged about, seeing a priceless treasure of human history disrespected this way really pisses me off.

Another museum conservator, who was present at the scene, said when one colleague realized what had happened, he grabbed a spatula to try and get the glue off, but instead left permanent scratches. “The first conservator, who inspects the artifact regularly, confirmed the scratches and said it was clear that they had been made by a tool used to scrape off the epoxy,” the AP reported.

Fucking idiots. A SPATULA?

Whoever gave orders that it be repaired quickly should be sacked. He should know that it is a highly valuable object.

Probably panicked at the thought of the repercussions, tried to cover up and consequently made matters worse for both himself and the artifact.
