Bring Nefertiti Home! Zahi Hawass Launched A Petition For The Queen’s Return From Germany
Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass, launched a petition on his website, demanding the return of the bust of the pharaonic queen Nefertiti to Egypt from the Neues Museum in Berlin. On Saturday, Hawass launched a petition on his website. This petition calls for the return of the ancient masterpiece from its current home in Berlin to Egypt.
The famous bust of Nefertiti was discovered in 1912 by a German archaeological team. It is one of the most celebrated artifacts of ancient Egypt. However, its removal from Egypt has been controversial, with Hawass claiming it was taken illegally.
“This is not just a government demand; this is a national initiative,” Hawass declared. He made it clear that the Egyptians are eager to see the return of this important piece of heritage. He urged supporters from all over the world to back this cause by signing the petition on his website.
“What I need from everyone here is to visit the website and sign to show your support for the return of this bust,” Hawass said in a passionate plea.
