Brussels – The prize in this stealing art deserves more than gold. To Romania, the old helmet is an invaluable cultural heritage. For the Netherlands, it is a stolen artifact that the authorities hope to recover to support the reputation of safe museums.

The complex golden Cotoferesti helmet dates back to about 2,500 years and is one of the national treasures in Romania from the Dacia civilization. He was displayed at the DRENTS Small Museum in the Eastern Netherlands at the end of last week from a 6 -month period of time when the thieves canceled this.

The stealing of the helmet and three golden wrist also sent shock waves through the art world, and devastating Roman authorities that believed to lend things to a nation where security for museums is very important.

“It is a dark day for us,” said museum director Harry Touban.

Investigators found few clues late from Monday to beyond a burning car near the museum, indicating that thieves want to cover their paths.

Romanian President Klaus Euyanis said that the artifacts have “exceptional cultural and historical importance” of the Roman heritage and identity, and that its disappearance had “a strong emotional and symbolic influence on society.”

“Even in our pessimistic dreams, we did not think it was possible.”

Romanian Minister of Justice Rado Marinsku described the incident as a “crime against our state” and said that the restoration of artifacts “is an absolute priority.”

The fame of the helmet and its amazing dramatic appearance means that it cannot be easily sold, raising fears that the thieves were after gold itself.

“It is simply unimaginable. The whole world knows it.” Arthur Brand, an expert in Dutch art, said, “They have probably gone to gold – I dare to utter words – melt them.”

This would reduce the treasure to a small part of its cultural and historical value. Gold weighs about 85,000 euros ($ 89,000) per kilo, and the helmet is estimated to weigh just less.

“Not only is gold. It is related to cultural heritage.” “It was taken in an incredibly strange way and pain.”

On the beloved security video distributed by the police, three people were seen opening a museum door with a large box, after which an explosion is seen. Then they should have gone out of the looting within minutes.

Touban said: “Security, as supposed, was as far as we knew, just as it should be,” Touban said. Now, it is a small battlefield. There is nothing else for us to do nothing but sitting, wait and see what will happen. “
