Beard on the iconic burial mask of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as the "King Tut" shut up and hastily glued back on the use of epoxy resin, which damaged priceless historical artifacts permanently, according to reports.
As a result of unsuccessful repair, a layer of bonding material can now be seen between the beard and the main mask, and that scratches are visible on the face mask after museum staff used the tools to remove the epoxy resin that spilled on that part of the object.

I want to be able to rise above this and say that it's the information we gained from Tut's tomb that's important, not the stuff itself — but I can't. Not yet. Give me a decade or three.

Nothing is irreparable if it still exists. it does cost money though but the treasure certainly isn't lost by a long shot

At what point do a culture's historical artifacts become world history artifacts? Most culture's would say Never.
