So far that’s what should be done in such a situation but on Friday 25th February the daily most respected and known newspaper (Al-Ahram) on the last page there was a bit of news about a young engineer who work for a petroleum company who was one of the protesters at Tahrir Square near the Egyptian Museum and he found a statue on the ground and to protect it, he took it home and next day he consulted his boss at work about what to do with the statue and for 3 weeks of not knowing what to do. Then he got advised to hand the statue to the newspaper which he did and he said he feels it is safe now.
The editor also mentioned that the statue is in the newspaper headquarters and they will wait Dr. Zahi Hawass to form a committee to go and receive it.
The pictures of the same statue are in 2 different colours

No,It is not the same statue. This one as the editor said was found on the ground near the museum and so far it was neither confirmed if it was genuine or fake nor handed to the ministry or Antiquities
