The Bust of Nefertiti was brazenly stolen from Egypt by the Germans in 1913 when it was concealed and smuggled out of the country despite laws that declared it illegal to remove ‘exceptional’ archaeological finds from Egypt. The Germans argue that they removed it legally because the French who ran the Antiquities Service at the time permitted them to. However, the Germans mislead the Antiquities Service as to the nature of the piece, downplaying its significance.
Only an idiot world send those things to Egypt. In the revolution they looked and destroyed the museum. Same in Iraq. Same in Syria.
Nothing but an idiot would send archeological treasures to any Islamic nation. They should stay in white majority countries where they will be safe, or even with private collectors.
They looted and vandalized the Egyptian museum as recently as 2011. You can’t send treasures like that to a place that unstable and filled with Islamic hatred. They view anything before Muhammad is idolatry and try to destroy it. It’s utterly irresponsible to send it to Egypt.
Sorry Egypt, you should have avoided being conquered over and over. Bad stuff happens when a nation loses wars.
Destroy them where they are, save on shipping.

Hawass translated:
“When artifacts are removed from Egypt illegally and sold this only encourages and emboldens our professional thieves.
“But if you return them now, I guarantee that in the next muslim uprising, they will all be either destroyed or sold again on the black market.”
