Verginiya isn’t the most beautiful of the beauties as it was said, because the truth is that only Nefertiti deserves this title. who, if someone saw her fall in love with her as much as Hitler loved her, he was ready to declare war on Egypt, just so that Nefertiti's head would not return to her homeland. Here we are talking about a bust of Nefertiti that highlights and embodies her beauty, so you can't imagine her beauty while she is alive. Most likely, the Nefertiti statue is now 3361 years old and was discovered in 1912 by Ludwig Borchardt, who put things on her to hide her features so that he could take her on the pretext that this is a representation of no value. In that way, he stole it and they did not announce their possession until 1923 in the Berlin Museum.
Negotiations
began between Egypt and Germany to retrieve the bust of Nefertiti, which had
come out illegally[168].
Despite the existence of the document and the deception that occurred by
Borchardt, there were always arguments of no value, such as that the statue
could not be transferred or that Egypt is not qualified to preserve antiquities
after the 2011 revolution and the lawlessness, there may be a fear that
the statue's recovery would cause political problems between the two towns[169].
Egypt did not stop receiving tourists after the end of the bull, and there are
always conservators in Egyptian museums who work periodically to take care of
antiquities. This is what any foreign visitor can see in the Egyptian Museum,
where there are conservators in the exhibition halls and do periodic
maintenance as the presence of visitors does not hinder him from his work,
always finds a place in museums for conservation. Now there is the Grand
Egyptian Museum, considered the largest museum of Egyptian antiquities in the
world. There is countless evidence that proves that Egypt can preserve its
archaeological properties; there is much more evidence to show that foreign
countries cannot preserve artefacts in museums.
Article
27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from UNESCO says that the law
must protect the freedoms and rights of others and public health[170].
The
West has enjoyed and benefited from the bust of Nefertiti a lot, such as making
and selling 3d models, receiving visitors in the museum to see them, making
copies of them and placing them in other museums, although they are not
original but visitors go to them[171].
It
is not fair for a false identity of a state and its people to be formed based
on Egyptian antiquities and culture, while those with an Egyptian identity are
deprived of their culture. And that is the right of the Egyptians to enjoy the
beauty and value of their queen Nefertiti and to return to her original
homeland, Egypt benefits from it in economic and cultural terms. Women have
used Nefertiti as a role model for feminist movements because of her great
power, and beauty which are unmatched, during the Berlin election campaign of
1999[172].
In
Cairo, women who have been sexually harassed and assaulted used a picture of
Nefertiti wearing a gas mask to react to what was happening inside police
stations. Nefertiti has become an icon that expresses women worldwide,
indicating their strength and their rights to freedom.
