Rare books burn in Egypt
An Egyptian book restoration official arranges burnt pages of the original ancient copy identified as "Le Description de L'Egypt", (The Description of Egypt,) written by scientists who came with Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt in the late 18th century, which were saved from the research center in Cairo, Egypt, Monday, Dec. 19, 2011. The building was almost completely gutted by a fire which broke out during the height of the clashes on Saturday, when troops on its roof and on other nearby rooftops hurled rocks down on protesters below.
