ScienceScope

ScienceScope's report that Afghanistan's lost Tilya Tepe gold had been found (Science, 12 September, p. 1453) was apparently premature. Afghan officials did open a vault deep under Kabul's presidential palace last month, but they now say the gold they found belonged to the National Bank, according to a UNESCO official who spoke with Makhdoum Raheen, the Afghan Minister of Information and Culture. There are still unopened "safe rooms" that might hold the missing treasure, the source says.
