The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities started moving a colossal statue of King Ramses II to its permanent display area at the Atrium of the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza on Thursday. The relocation process was carried out in collaboration with the Egyptian Armed Forces after the statue began deteriorating due to exposure to the elements at its previous location, Ramses Square in Cairo.

This is Berlin's Bode Museum, one of the most prestigious museums in the German capital, and it was the site of a baffling, 'Ocean's Eleven' style heist which took place in the wee hours of Monday morning. Two thieves broke in to the museum at 3:30 AM and stole the world's second biggest gold coin, which weighs a whopping 220 pounds. The special print coin, which is called the "Big Maple Leaf" and was minted in Canada, is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records because it has a gold standard of 999.99/1000. Only five of these coins exist, each with a current gold value of over $4 million.
