...a non disperdersi nella sabbia.
Germany has rejected the Egyptian request to return the bust of Nefertiti, saying yesterday that the request is not signed by any minister and therefore has no governmental character. And yet it was the same Ministry of Culture in Cairo to announce the formal step, which bears the signature of Zahi Hawas, vice-minister and head of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. The dispute over the bust of Nefertiti, the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaton, divides the two countries for decades: the discovery in 1912, German Egyptologist Ludwig Borchardt, according to the German was purchased legally by the Egyptians in 1913, the Egyptians challenging the legality of the sale, with the aim is to present the bust to the museum Akenathon which will be inaugurated in early 2012.
