FILE - In this Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011 file photo, Egyptian army soldiers march in front of Egyptian museum at Tahrir Square in Cairo. Illegal digs near ancient temples and in isolated desert sites have swelled a staggering 100-fold over the past 16 months since a popular uprising toppled Hosni Mubarak's 29-year regime and security fell apart in many areas as police simply stopped doing their jobs. The pillaging comes on top of a wave of break-ins last year at archaeological storehouses and at Cairo's famed Egyptian Museum, the country's biggest repository of pharaonic artifacts.
