of Kim Kardashian standing next to the ancient Egyptian coffin of Nedjemankh, a priest of the ram-god Heryshaf.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"tr\">Kim Kardashian

property.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, explaining that the coffin seen in the picture of Kim Kardashian from the Met Gala proved the ancient artifact had been stolen.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cThe material this office obtained consisted of thousands of images and videos \u2014 many of which depicted dirty or damaged antiquities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis material included six images of an object that this office later determined to be the gold coffin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The coffin was then returned to Cairo in 2019, with the Met&#8217;s director, Max Hollein, explaining that the museum would make sure they &#8220;learn from this event&#8221; and would look into their acquisitions policy to &#8220;understand what more can be done to prevent such events in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i
