Egyptian Campaign Seeks Return of Queen Nefertiti's Bust

Egyptian officials are intensifying their campaign to reclaim the 3,400-year-old bust of Queen Nefertiti, currently housed in Berlin's Neues Museum. Led by former Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass, the campaign seeks to return the iconic artifact to Egypt, emphasizing its historical and cultural significance. This initiative reflects broader efforts to repatriate cultural treasures, including Greece's ongoing push for the return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum.
