Many of Egypt's historic artifacts are found in museums outside the country, but those within the country are about to be displayed in its new Grand Egyptian Museum. The museum fully opens its doors next week. 

One of Egypt's world-famous artifacts outside of the country has been on display for over a century in Germany's capital Berlin. 

German archeologists found the bust of ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti in 1912 and took it from Egypt to Germany. Egypt wants it back.

It’s remarkable. The colors weren’t visible when it was found, or later when it was displayed for the division between the Germans and Egypt. The ruined building where it was found had been the workshop of the official sculptor or something, and it was apparently used as a reference when he or one of his employees had to carve her likeness.
