Will Morsi demand repatriation for the purpose of pulverization?

While I understand the desire for nations to possess their antiquities, I am strongly opposed to Egypt gaining possession of this artifact. The Cadre now in power in Egypt has no connection to the civilization that gave rise to this artifact.

If anything, the Islamists now in charge will regard this as coming from the period before Islam - I can't remember the name of the term now - and accordingly subject to destruction. Don't give it to those bloodthirsty baastards!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I’d fully support Egypt recovering the Nefertiti bust and all of it’s antiquities if the Islamists in charge could be trusted to keep and display them safely and not blow them up or crush them in the name of Islam or iconoclasm.

" The bust is at the top of a "wish list" of five major artifacts exhibited abroad that Egypt wants returned "

So, Deutschland might just trade them an Israel busting submarine for the loot.
