Egyptian tomb defaced
Parents of a 15-year-old Chinese tourist have apologized after the teenager defaced a stone sculpture in an ancient Egyptian temple with graffiti.
The act drew ire in both Egypt and China - generating a massive online backlash amongst China's unforgiving netizens.
The vandal carved 'Ding Jinhao was here' in Chinese in the 3,500 year old Luxor Temple.
This was photographed by an embarrassed Chinese traveler and shared on weibo, China's micro-blogging site on May 24.
"The saddest moment in Egypt. I'm so embarrassed that I want to hide myself. I said to the Egyptian tour guide,'I'm really sorry,'" that traveler wrote on the original weibo post.
FULL STORY
Lol and good afternoon to you also @ Mary! And many thanks for that chuckle! It was quite witty and apt for el trollio!
Seems to have shut him up for now. And white man killed a black man ... case closed @ chrissy
What do you say about the UK beheadings ?
Is this the same Mary that likes to research people's names on here? How did you do with my name creepo?
Opps, that first sentence was referring to the Martin case.
Yea a little hoodlum who happens to be black. Lets ignore the fact that there were pics on the little angels phone with him posing with handguns and weed in the background. I love how people cry racism while ignoring cold hard facts. Par for the course
And is this the *same* Tom Riddle that is a fantasy name of cnn's resident troll jeffrey roem? Isnt there another site you can terrorize for a few years and give this one a much needed break???
I see it is not wise to interact with banasy. @ TR, many have died all for the color of ones skin... who idiotic is that? How bout you drop a grande in your shorts pale ! ;(
@Mary: please explain this comment?
*Grenade
I think it's obvious @ banasy
If it were, I would not be asking, Mary. I have not even posted on this blog, or have said anything to you outside of the other day when I said "ah, I was wondering..."; could you please explain what it is you think I am guilty of? Innuendo isn't my cup of tea, Mary. Please be forthright. Thanks.
Didnt the article say he "scratched" his name in the stone? Just make him sand the damn thing out, and ground him til hes 18!
Lol. GMTA, chrissy.
It seems to me it would take quite a few minutes to carve ‘Ding Jinhao was here' on this priceless relic...nobody noticed?
Some people have no sense of decency and history.
I am somewhat surprised that tourists are allowed to get that close to these antiquities...such a shame, in any case.
Goodnight, all.
And WHAT 15 year old boy isnt a dingbat? Sheesh!
A rather belated response@Mary for your 4:04 pm post.
You have an angle there & there have been cases where some decided to protest the war or chose not to be a part but the law of the land doesn't allow that option.
As for the punishment for defacing the Egyptian relic I think the authorities now would have to consider legislating appropriate laws.
The parents could be held responsible for paying the cost of restoration ?
@ saywhat, I'm done here, trying to have a conversation. You know my name... look it up on FB and friend me if you like
Thanks@Mary for your kind invitation.
OR....some readers here remember our friend Superman and his mountain climbing friend Javier from Argentina. They might be interested in learning Javier climbed solo recently and plunged 2,500 ft down the side of the mountain! @ bobcat, show Javier some of your love with some funnies please.
