Egypt's Ambassador in UNESCO Mohamed Sameh Amr said Saturday he received several inquiries about the reported damage of the mask of the world's most famous pharaoh, Tutankhamun.
The International Council of Museums follows up the situation, he said.
Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab stressed the need to cooperate immediately with relevant international bodies to provide experts as soon as possible to examine the state of the mask, he added.
Earlier on the day, Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el Damaty said the mask is sound and there is no "true threat" to its safety.
