Egypt to demand Nefertiti's return from Germany
Egypt will formally ask Germany to return a bust of Queen Nefertiti after a Berlin museum official presented papers showing the 3,400-year-old treasure was taken unethically, Egypt's antiquities chief said on Sunday.
Zahi Hawass said in a statement that documents presented by the head of Berlin's Neues Museum confirmed that Ludwig Borchardt, who found the bust, tried to pass it off as a less significant find to secure it for Berlin. (Reuters)
