The bust of Queen Nefertiti is a magnet for every visitor to Berlin. On the Nile, however, the icon of Egyptian culture is sorely missed.
Formally, the ownership structure seems to be clear. The distribution of the finds was carried out strictly according to the law. But there are doubts about that.

The bust of Nefertiti exemplifies the question of where the future of such icons of world culture lies, in the field of tension between national property and truly shared heritage.
