a t t. but guided tools here. oh is mentioned the even more impressive piece in, but in the cairo best isn't f a t t next. the same for ness, such as the details painting on the famous blue crown. but the autistic expressiveness of the head is unmistakable to anyone who stands before it. people identify with nasa t t. the former queen is timeless and not in my little library, him to see their w too. i'm like going to be like a big salt for me because i never saw it in my real life. so that's something will be really make me so happy to see it. so hopefully it's worth the time to back to you just one day. so i can see, i know we do like towards sort of thing coming all over the world. so the,
11:22 am
to the collection of things that you can through god, i would love to see the heads of you for tv in egypt, at least for one second. let me see you did to mislead the i'm a jeep sion and so it's nice to teach you what this is, what you not. so it's been that i could be one of her grandchildren. and i said we the very least to share the same homeland with both. the gibb shouldn't be lovely enough, but i wish that net petite is best would be brought to cairo, enjoying the rest of the pieces in egypt shall museum them. that is really my wish to send them to the museum island invalid prussian kings opened major museums here as part of the global competition . so the best collections piece is what brought from all over the world and f a t t is one of the biggest attractions,
11:23 am
no visit to been in is complete with out to visit to museum islands own mona lisa. through the holes of the noise museum paused countless showcases featuring the highlights of pharaoh nik ops. the root finds the leads to queen nefertiti, a grand production adieva. on her own stage. the icon has her own pedestal and bell in. should she stay? or should she go a century old debate it's got the difficulties for somebody to can talk kind of fits 100 for them. take additional to give them. there has never been an official demand for returned by the egyptian government. set them in the separately direction, ambassadors and germany have said never a t. t is
11:24 am
a wonderful advertisement for egyptian culture to help them. she is the best in baset or for egypt and egyptian culture imaginable. take of difficulty, missouri, very different perspectives here. and it's of course, important to us that you just, the addiction embassy group, see this museum, which not only with narrative, but also with other examples of ancient egyptian culture as they are placed. and that they also use it. the egyptian embassy sometimes has receptions here. i think . i think that's a very important collaboration. some countries take us to them. yeah. of cover. these are, they all task is to preserve the pieces of world culture that the house to you. we must protect because of and maintain them as best we can. and the way i see is that managed transport. i have a house on the question for be to teach. i'm punch punch. and it was created 3300 years ago. this bus made of
11:25 am
limestone and covered with a layer of plaster. some suspect it was just the model for other versions made of stone. others think it was made for worship. the famous blue crown is painted with colored bloss powder. there's a hint to dress. she is considered the most beautiful women in the world. realistic and impressive symbol tenuously. a material used for the artwork as west list, but ensure is valued. it's 400000000 euros just a few years ago. how does she belong to the history is taught from a no tentative perspective at berlin's technical university. professor benedicts of why reconstructs the roots on has taken out of jets from africa, land, and european museums. she calls for radical transparency with public collections.
11:26 am
and she's changing how these venerable institutions have traditionally seen themselves, the security of using the football no for me, but not to the what the museums don't do, never have done those naturally. do. they don't show how the pieces go to the museum. they bruce, these huge seal comalla, they suckle 5, come up. they, when you start to take an interest in how this egyptian boss to that. so i'll call for guess, we'll have the freeze of the posting on came to london from athens. tell the pieces came to the news read this originated in today's iran and the wrong. then you realize that they were not dropped off at the museums by helicopter. so one fine day that the global geo political power relations play a role, they make it and yet, and just was yeah. how do you perceive without asking people seem easy subjects?
11:27 am
what 3 to 5 do have the easy. you realize that the golden, shimmering facade of the museums, is there any one side of the coin you like to do it to come home? if you flip this coin nose, however you see stories, the violin slow lifting and humiliation you don't to prevents with diseased? well disposed, yes, true. it's important to me that this the other side is also told a given the portion t look as you see, the other shows the menu only got it. how do we use our museums? how do we put objects into the, what do we teach children in these museum these on the museum? that's kind of how do we as a society, you look at how selves in these magnificent museums, he'll get them to see. i'll talk to see if they don't seem easy. christy, because this school has its price as well as play to suit all the
11:28 am
so its organs i meant for you. so you can see the house and i meant to come see him . the entrance of the house and do usually as well as the same design of the house as if i'm out of me and in this room exactly what a hot finds about 250 p. it would be here. yeah, i wouldn't be in this site to be close book hard for kids, 40 years from 1910, then 1914 and the big good to 100 we thought by to 100 meet them is coming. some houses of all type of house. but the most, the most important discovery was 1912 the most of the people, some of them homes, you know, and believe, museum the, here's the main location of the bulk of the executive in this rule. and usually we know that the boss of the details here is spot to this location these, these walls, the house peasy launches seats by all 976 house,
11:29 am
3472 room 19 in december 6th, 1912. and then it says he painted fast as a queen with smoothly cot, week flush pots, reddish yellow lips, red nostrils, strongly deepened, eyes one missing is p as nic muscle. strongly indication 2 very like wrinkles leading up from the, in a corner of each like downward. that's the fluid. it's at the time the music bush out, the gym and archaeologist quietly recorded his sensational find in his excavation channel. he already had an inkling of what he had found. he would do everything in his power to bring nesa gigi into german hands could good when the fine was divvied up late to
11:30 am
the the site was the scope to swap shop and how many valuable fines for the archeologist the excavation was financed by patron james simone. the general in the archives of via gyptian museum in berlin, contains bush child, sketched the room in which the best of nefertiti was found a few pages on a small drawing of this discovery of the century, the following. the colors as if recently applied, excellent work, no point describing it. you'll have to see it. and
11:31 am
i want to know if you are sad about the fact that the, or the phones of amman now know for it to connect to and etc. and know. and the lead also said about the, the for the bus. but i hope that all the objects important object which is i put in is, am outside the egypt to attend the back to the muslim to egypt, which would be the total for, for the addiction and from the community. for that, he thought also of the i put in the here and i'm out of 9, those to bank that it can be very close to the city. since i'm young, i'm look to the tories tend to have no present ticket these and they start to my work as of curious. yeah. and doesn't speak to it and they love this war. so i try
11:32 am
to give my beast and all my you for the 2 sessions this feel done. so if is this sheniece, you know, on, i think in the future it would be fine if or is it people do like, because i think it was over something good towards the, for the antiquities and the addition to the thought referred to really see new family but that actually being here doesn't help me learn more about town, dot facebook or shot to act on behalf of the gym and oriental society back. then trust any book, meaning what it does, give me a sense of how tasks were distributed around 1900. you see by assume the dash, the great britain was responsible for infrastructure like a 100000. yeah. ok. so if you put the management of antiquities, was traditionally in front tens in e until results to be a full se potties from steven considered egypt its door to its 1st born at that time the defeat 1000000000 implants had done so since napoleonic times,
11:33 am
several up. so now, if you, it's a great privilege for me to be able to revive the knowledge if this period, if you them on a play going exam, see this never really happened in egypt back then benedict's of was travels to paris. the institute of phones is now home to historical documents of the french and to quit cheese authority. what will be archives tell her about the discovery of egyptian antiquities under the french flag fronts granted the license to dig. i'm in a lodge reading room. benedicts of walk is allowed to read the historical correspondence between german archaeologist lew depo, shot and french authorities. let us tell her how the best of nefertiti was discovered and eventually found its way to bed in her research began after the events on to her rear square in 2011 system,
11:34 am
oklahoma just cannot seem to cut off hub on the sheet symbol. don't lose yes with democratic declaring what we now know is the arabs spring state that momentum, and susie as them for democracy with those demonstrations by young people entirely, a square that he was inspired to contribute to the democratic movement. asians agency on aging sab, somewhat now easily, in a moment of solidarity while her move on the moon cut deep. okay, this predicament 52. i wanted to share my knowledge of how the boss doesn't f a t t who is so important to egypt as collective memory, came to burnett and really speak to slot. did they? did you forget the time when egypt was not independent? those would be a young lady that depends on the field on egypt and fonts, have a lengthy history. the country on the nile suddenly quote europe's attention.
11:35 am
during the podium subscription campaign, in 1798 and the battle of the pyramids, egypt was to become a french province, but never did. what remained was a close relationship between the 2. the, the french influence can still be felt in cairo today. the stock exchange district was modeled on paris in the 19th century. formerly, however, egypt was under british control, 110 years ago. it was not until 1922 that the country became an independent kingdom. soon, chefs, you can imagine someone probably just get a vader upon you again and yeah, shortly before the outbreak of world war one, egypt was divided vertically up. everything above ground belongs to england because
11:36 am
egypt was a protection protector and sneezing all roads. the water supply the seas, they were all under british administration exclusive and everything below the ground was french because egypt antiquities also receives, had been in french turns for several decades. this division meant that the egyptians themselves had little to say and anything below ground coffee gyptian egyptology, did not yet exist. this inclusion isn't since the packed up and taken ancient egyptian culture left the country on mass and crates. bound to paris, london, berlin and new york. in 1912, the french antiquities authority passed them, you know,
11:37 am
all fines which would be divided up. exactly. one half egypt, the other for those who funded the excavation. you'd think beauchamp didn't like this arrangement and he wrote elected to the director general of the diction antiquities authority. who? yeah, the hey, i get an idea direct to general mr. lewis and this you, this asthma was here today to divide up. the see is fine when the full, the number to do execute the division. what she exact was obviously embarrassing to him. but he persevered amiably. so it was not to significantly damage scientific interests and the process to the associated to this put, find the belong to get the still have to be separated is not his fault. this is due to the new regulation. know which, as i know, we both regret including lies,
11:38 am
but that was the nutrition culture heritage foundation in bending now owns the fines that were awarded to james team on the excavations finance uh in 1913, the touchingly delicate statue of the queen and a spin, wrote many of the pieces are working models, unfinished specimens from the sculptors workshop. but nothing comes close to the impact of the kind of queen legends even imagine about an f, a t t's exodus or shaw cheat was nitro t. t. intentionally hidden partially visible on the german parts of the site. the
11:39 am
case of photographic documentation from the time refutes this legend. what's the best smidge with clay to conceal its venue? maybe it was actually stolen. 9 i so with this because it's as you're logged duty heard, he could have been bogged almost no the legal situation and all the regulations were at that time such that we cannot say it was stolen, a pistol, and these cheap ass rotations, but never a t t was smeared with clay placed in a cardboard box and a dark corner where no lights fell and get losing the message. simply nonsense. if we see the half dozen wonderful photos from different angles that were handed over before they sat down together to divide up to find with it before, that's how it was done back then. and we have to accept that done as soon as i'm just respond on my we have to find a way to move forward and you always object to but to completely undo history going to because i don't think that's the right way to look up to the couldn't talk to
11:40 am
some stuff to cubic nefertiti is in the noise museum as a result of a historical mistake. and we cannot change history because it happens, but we can cortex this mistake. monica hannah's commitment to protecting the world's cultural heritage. has an international reputation for her research in addiction. archives has led to believe that the little was broken when the signed was defined it up in 1913 and i think according even to the law, this was faxed. this doesn't work in 1912, uh no, uh, mazda piece is what allows you to, and even if they did the postcards, that's what's contested. egypt had that i to reimburse the excavated the money necessity that he paid for the dig in exchange of this object on board her being on the committee that was supposed to protect the heritage of egypt,
11:41 am
should have known this and he definitely knew this. and he probably starts to heighten the facility in the way that the depression offices would not suspect the. so here was, is an egyptologist just loved to quote him, the media savvy scientist has been the face of addiction archaeology for decades. he was one's head of the antiquities authority and introduced national leaders and celebrities to egypt. high culture excites for the return of cultural heritage from abroad. he to down again to to have the division of the fines. * how can fully not make decisions about the laws of egypt? the low was low in that time, if you discover and in that group, you're going to take it out. the reason if you discover a statute of a king or queen made of limestone, you're going to take it out to you. so that was the whole. how with this being room
11:42 am
to change, i don't have no right to do that. tension has been building over the past several years between egypt and gemini, one voice, and this post colonial debate is your going to an african color based them handbook . he's looking at the significance of colonialism in german society and wants germany to come clean about its violent imperial history. is the issue for me i can dismissed tactic to this. it is actually as a great and acceptable desmond. it's a from pathetic that people result to saying it would have been permitted and i'll give it was the right if the strong gets not given or this volunteer between one. and they will all coupons before dividing up the fines meant that european rulers in egypt gave themselves the right to take it gyptian antiquities out of the country. i do too sure i'm to prepare and also longest
11:43 am
the if you little know your boss so you will never know your future. and therefore for us nursing and government affairs, those people they did the was mat justice center through. and this why they the to the peak and everything. and i'm also the belief of the, of the life based egypt. because that belief made them do leave to us this gates organization. i think this is not according to have or the exception of texting was the museums back. but i think this is of course to have what's the significance for addiction past this? and as you said, the transparency of facts of history to yes documents. and i think the most important because if you have new these transparency you have right now. right.
11:44 am
exactly. but yes of we can, people have not the i think my presentation with metro pc goes to i comes from the model number 16 by product. and so i go up with the image of the city on the missing queen that you can see the images everywhere. so you can see that i've clicked was everywhere the age since it's been living within the age of some they deal with women go forth facility, which was i know my grandmother percent went once and swam in the lake of cost that comes to goes pregnant. so that is this idea that the samples are very much and i
11:45 am
and then not this, this face of the museum of an archaeological side. and i think the with should open the eyes in, in looking at such a culture to continue with you that does not conform to the intellectual way more than people can identify with the posts. shortly after the discovery of the best of nets for t t, the queen became the focus of political intrigue. a tug of war began between egypt, germany and france. benedicts of war found something interesting during her research and from the nav for gigi file from the 19 twenty's. the dispute over the location of the best, which continues to the state, emerged from franco german enmity after the 1st world war.
11:46 am
she used old newspaper articles, alleges to recount the 1st time egypt oscar for the bus back a century ago. the gyptian mazda piece was not shown to the public until 1924, and especially design hole in the noise museum. photos was circulated beforehand to spunk, curiosity and publicity. the queen became an objective desire, and the french regret at that generosity in grunting the bus to the germans. see that they didn't accept it, you know, of, you know, if the bus different, if a t c did not return to cairo, the germans, the prussian spelling would never again receive permission to dig. gosh, that sight, blackmail. they would not guess upon match if an f a t t did not return to me, it seems this blackmail was fed by the hatred that existed on the french side towards jem and egyptology. they argued in the name of the egyptians in the name of the addiction, cultural heritage,
11:47 am
cortex only. but some one did you see the, the germans and the french ultimately made a deal in exchange for the past 2 statues, from cairo, what to go to berlin. one of them was a for no, for an influential court officials, a prime example of ancient egyptian art, but not very graceful character tourist immediately began to take aim at this fault . had that already been fees several years earlier. that nefertiti might just be a temporary visitor in putting an artist had begun work on a copy in 1926. it was to be better than the originals. the technicians have pressed, could use this well as well. most happened with the dates had been sent, but in 1933, the very last moment on the hit to intervene to stop the project,
11:48 am
which had been agreed during the weimar republic to each this. keep stop. see the mouse getting the money. so the press claims that he had fallen in love with queen f, a t t that present democracy, buskie to me, i moved and i moved a heads up planned a separate building for the best an oriental museum, opposite today's museum island. the 2nd world war put an end to these plans for protection. the queen was packed up again and disappeared into an auntie across the bunk. it wasn't until decades later, when museum island was redesigned, the bust of nefertiti returned to where the story of its appropriation began to the noise museum. the
11:49 am
violin now presents the royals according to the rules of european museum. ok. she staged as a mega attraction. what remains invisible, however, is the eventful history of how long johnny the good. oh oh fun human like you whole. so here from young a chip sions. this is yes of course. this is an object that we always want to my room for me. but on the other hand, you also see what she symbolizes here. as an ambassador, she has also become an object of identification here. and if you go to him,
11:50 am
that's extraordinary. she's an object of identification, full, yes. actually 2 coaches by quinton combined. this arguments that now for a t t is an unbox of it, i think makes me very, very angry because an investment in teams and the rustic exchange. i have not seen a company that only samson investigated and does not receive one. and so where is the crown of 3? but if they have gross income, it or we do not have the waiters, i'm out, but i do to of kind of germany kind of with it isn't. so it's ridiculous that they say narrative. it's like you're not talking to 5 year on the you know, it's a piece of information. and some boy, this is miss dundas. and she was for me a symbol of
11:51 am
a kind of grief and politics of representation that the global most appropriate in recent years. and it was an attempt to work with an icon that has great power to tell a different story. east is where it's not just about and if a t t not then not now it's more of a launch in our channel. but it's what i think is it, the question of ownership needs to be clearly defined or to speak that much more with and f a t t or the other objects. so then exhibit says or located system that's not the point to show. don't get this guy and it's of a bunch of who decides with a location, just think assessment, and i think that would have to be clarified. and in most cases that would clearly be the societies of origin. yeah. and or take nora boundary. use the 3 d scan to that is the actual image, and that's a t t. as part of an op project, the,
11:52 am
the digital and f a t t was put online in 2015. it attracted a lot of attention. and it was reported on worldwide. and it again raised question of who owns nefertiti, the that he must the subject to the country and who has the power to control the okay. and as and why it is clinging to the old imperial position to live at this moment and see it would have been the best scenario i can see now is that the objects to borrow just all that they travel. and this is mostly the rest of it's all except in some individual case, and that's what this off my was it. but at the end of the day, these objects must no longer belong to these powerful institutions. and the global most men do, and these institutions must no longer control the him and of these and other was
11:53 am
not much would have changed and type issues. and the, just a stone's throw away from the great pyramids stands, the gigantic new grand egyptian. you see in this and vicious project was integrated into the tourist infrastructure of cairo before it was even finished. and it created high expectations. the grand egyptian museum highlights the importance of the ferry on a policy for the country today. actually it was very important for us to filter the word that we don't care about our buttons
11:54 am
and we show our money means integrate conditions. and actually, i remember i made the debate was the that it to the get t and the director of v in the arthur museum. there. what to say that don't send off taxes. countries, they don't have good museums. this was the oxford is to the debate. and i said to them that we do have museums in egypt, and now bits of the any museum in any place in europe or i read it to show that even we other countries that we need money for living. but we preserve our money, which ones are just basic entity to me, this whole debate about museums as preserving institutions. so of course that you want to be constantly criticized, stays the. it wasn't an easy face for the whole of society hasn't changed. and the last 5 to 10 years from the great opportunity that museums and cultural institutions have today is that we really have to work together in an increasingly
11:55 am
connected world, which is to so i'm going to develop a way forward to that there is real sharing. i think that's the goal, that's as if we return a few objects and that's it depicted so then for me that much has been achieved and this, and we just to the highest the museum as an institution is finally being put into question of to 200 years, new topics, restitution. participation equalization have triggered rethink. the focus had traditionally been on the work of off, but it's like this relationships often remains hidden. voice news and for the what we need is a completely new museum concept. namely, museums that no longer showcase the great net sky and be at the greatness of the business all patronage that makes it possible for these objects to be in the land in paris or in london. but instead, focus on the history of this exploitation did use the history of this relationship
11:56 am
that this colonial relationships, you know, in other words, we need a complete re imagining of museums where the originals are no longer important. antonio speaks in a nora a boundary is already way ahead. her number is t t belongs to everyone. the she traveled to the tested with has 3 d copy and brought it back to egypt. but that's not true. the all just also buried the best in the sand. let's ends, which is the ultimate li. it's plastic 3 d. it will be there for millennials. which means that this boss could be found in 10 years. some way they are in this hara, or in 3000 years, it might still be that was the benefit kind of counting, the mentor, always taking everything up and wanting to own it on the
11:57 am
kids. don't suppose do for tv. nice. the question arises with the bus different f a t t should be returned, don't know my own, so would be we must take the rest of to sion requests serious lankin and we must learn to listen boots one true to these and not political demands. we have to see them as a cultural need, a cultural dom mom's should be taking these to moms seriously would be a stop. the best one when we talk about cultural heritage, there are no easy answers. those let those who need teach do so far. the owners of the pieces have mostly disregarded the mom's restitution peaceful underneath that slight. and when you ethical approach is needed to dom bundled institutional just took elizabeth
