Extra, Extra! Read all about it: pretentious white European thinks he has a claim to ancient Egyptian artifacts! And no one was surprised. Today we talk about Art of the Heist's enthralling episode "The Pharaoh's Head"! Jonathan Tokeley-Parry led a life of riches, art smuggling, and the heist of a lifetime... Only to be betrayed by the simplest of oversights. What exactly did he take? Why does it matter? Join us! Find out how intensive the art smuggling efforts are, what happens when your laws on arts and culture aren't global,  and why drinking Hemlock is probably not your best bet.  Content warning: the episode covers topics of suicide attempts to escape imprisonment. Please be gentle with yourself, and proceed with caution.  Stay Safe. Don't Touch Your Face. Wash Your Hands.
