of a brand new air, that's the screen where it is a reminder of the top store. we are following for you. chucky is backing you cringe bits to join nato once the was over, present friendship type ad one says there's no doubt you create deserves to become a member dislikes talk. he's close ties to russia. coming up next hour, documentary series looks at who should really own the bust off. queen nefertiti, one of the biggest museum attractions. thanks for watching the news. the image of how many portion of lots of thrown out in the world climate change. the story faces much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get

we still have time to act. i'm going to like this. go to the didn't be without this a t t. what is this a t, t p as on to everyone? and both tiffany for t t had never left egypt told her name means the beautiful one has come. she's timeless. and she speaks to us. she has been catholic, positioned, and abundant museum and dismiss just as much about co she's been the subject of disputes between countries since she was discovered. and if a t t, an object of desire the

beautiful and f a t t who owns her. the ship is suddenly on the road into the fuller royal city of amana, on the side of the street, a huge replica benedicts of what an expression due to dot is tracking this ancient egyptian queen and the best of f. a. t. t is one of the most famous works of oaks in the world because you see it fuss abuse to disrupt the teaser post when i look at the bus different f a t t i think of how ancient she is. but she also seems very close to us in the stalls. i'm sure that she's very pressing that disappoints her age. married couple months now. the

we were in egypt. benedicts of want insisted on visiting them on a long denied in central egypt. nefertiti is best, was dug up here over a century ago, says well, wants to find out more about the artwork and its history. me something come up to complete the demo. because next, which of these to out of the museum may put that when dealing with museum history. but also as a normal visitor, we should be aware of where the object. so these are the only the most significant t t end up nothing i mean, but then well, many other pieces this got to do around the world is do not have them on which i think it's important to be aware of where they actually originated from the stuff that exist see something to do and where they are not located now, did you? we list we but we just the egypt around, 1900 wrath footage shows how rapidly incredibly valuable trashes

were ripped from the desert sands. european nations took everything they could find, and german archaeologist ludovico shot, made us say, tional, find on december 6th, 1912 tea on us, the head of a queen, the she's been to that need. and as united by all the the copies of the best and building decorate egyptian roadsides. but the original has

never been shown in homeland which is because no money gather. we didn't know what to cost. the 1st one, the fittest, one in the museum in germany. unfortunately, look inside that you've seen via beautiful funds encryption. even if it's on the new spot, i can see here, here's the skin or shopping list. here's unfinished but healthy you to be some minds between the magnificent and i'm sending egypt also has a past. it's in the addiction museum,

which attracts visitors from all over the world with its version of an f, a t t. the 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 detailed painting and the famous blue crown. but the autistic expressiveness of the head is unmistakable to anyone who stands before it. people identify with an f, a t t to form a queen is time this modern live streams to see their w too. i'm like 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 all 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 to the police and the thing of it is you've seen 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 cheap sion and so was made 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're the very least to share the same homeland with both. the gibb shouldn't be lovely enough, but i wish that net patricia is best would be brought to cairo, enjoying the rest of the pieces in egypt shall museum them. that is really my wish to find them shit in the museum island invalid oppression. 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 if a t t is one of the biggest attractions, 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 ferry on it on the route, finds the leads to queen nefertiti to 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 oh debate it's got difficulty for somebody to can talk kind of if it's hindered for them, take additional to give them. there has never been an official demand for returned by the egyptian government sort of in the separately direction. ambassadors and

germany have said never a t. t is 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 each of the addiction embassy group see this museum, which not only with never a t team here, but also with other examples of ancient egyptian culture as they are placed. and that they also use it, the injection 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 for the item and maintain them as best we can. and the way i see is that managed transport house. one of the question would be to teach, i'm pumped, i'm,

it was created 3300 years ago. this bus made of limestone and covered with a layer of plaster. some suspected was just a model for other versions made of stem. others think it was made for worship. the famous blue crown is painted with colored glass powder. there's a hint to dress. she is considered the most beautiful women in the world. realistic and impressive symbol tenuously. material used for the artwork as west, less but ensure is valued at full 100000000 euros just a few years ago. how does she belong to? a history is taught from a no tentative perspective at berlin's technical university. professor benedicts of why reconstruct the roots on has taken how did objects from africa,

land and european museums, she calls for radical transparency with public collections. and she's changing how these venerable institutions have traditionally seen themselves, the securities in football. no, 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 addiction bus to that sarcophagus will have the freeze of the post and on came to london from athens. tell the pieces came to the news read this originated in today's around and do wrote up then you realize that they were not dropped off at the museums by helicopter. so one fine day. but the global geo political power relations play a role. they make it and yet,

and just was yeah. how do you perceive me without asking people seem easy or subject? swipe left fast. do you realize that the golden, shimmering facade of the museums is only one side of the coin. you like to jude it to come. what if you flip this coin, nova, however, you see stories, the violence, 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, the book as you see, the other shows the many of the legal. how do we use our museums? how do we put objects into the what do we teach children in these museum these on the music else can. how do we as a society, you lucas, 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 plate to suit all the

so its options i may have 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 and me and in this room exactly what o'clock finds about 250 p . it would be here. yeah, i wouldn't be in the site because book cloud 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. so most of the people on some other movies, you know, and believe, museums do have the main location of the bulk of the executive in this room. and usually we know that the boss of the details here is spot to this

location, these, these walls, the house, peasy logistics, buy a home 976 house, 3472 room 19, even december 6th, 1912. and then it says he painted fast as a queen with smooth be caught week flush pots, reddish yellow lips, red nostrils, strongly deepened, eyes one missing is p, as nick muscle. strongly indication, 2 very like wrinkles leading up from the, in a corner of each line downward. that's the fluid. it's at the top is usually the bush out. the gym and archaeologist quietly requoted his sensational fined 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 for good.

when the fine was divvied up late to the site was the scope to swap shop and how many valuable fines for the archeologists. 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. well,

no point describing it, you have to see it. and 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 leading also said about the, the for the, the bus by hopes that all the objects important object, which is i put in museum outside of egypt in the back to the motherland. egypt. which would be better for, for his education and from the community for the thoughts of the i put in the hit and i'm out of 9, the east bank that it could 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 i've killers. yeah. and doesn't speak to it and they love this work. so i try 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 for the, for the antiquities and the person who the referred to really seem to be on the bed 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 events, equities was traditionally in front chance n e a. so if they don't get the full say, how do you see from even considered egypt its door to its 1st born at that time

would defeat the plant had done so since napoleonic times sub left. so now, if you, it's a great privilege for me to be able to revive the knowledge if this period, if you the more i play going example, he believes that 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 into which is authority. what will be archives tell her about the discovery of egyptian antiquities under the french flag fronts granted the license to dig in a large 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, 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 arab springs. that momentum and susie as him for democracy with those demonstrations by young people entirely, a square that he was inspired to contribute to the democratic movement. asians, you'd see on egypt, sab, somewhat know easily, in a moment of solidarity shawanda her move on the moon, cut 6. okay. these 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 fronts, have a lengthy history. the country on the nile suddenly quote to europe's attention. 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 egypt was a petition 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 delusion. egypt 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 and you know, all fines which would be divided up exactly. one hall for 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 director general and this you, this asthma was here today to develop adults. this is fine when the full, the number or to do next the cation of the division. what she exact was obviously embarrassing to him. but he persevered amiably, so it was not to significantly damage scientific interests in the process to the associated with. this put, find the belong to get the still have to be separated is not his fault. this is due

to the new regulation of no, which as i know, we both regret think really lies, but that was the, the position culture heritage foundation in bending now owns the signs that were awarded to james team on the excavations finance. in 1913 the touchingly delicate statue of the queen and then wrote many of the pieces are working models, unfinished specimens from the sculptors workshop. but nothing comes close to the impact of the color. so queen legends have even imagine about and if a t t is exodus or shot sheet was nitro t t, intentionally hidden partially visible on the german parts of the site. the case of

photographic documentation from the time refutes this legend. what's the best smidge with clay to conceal its value? maybe it was actually stolen. i 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 up his to 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 light fell. and keep 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 can just respond on my we have to find a way to move forward and you always object to but to completely undo history. so

we take, i don't think that's the right way to look up to the couldn't talk to 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, the monica, hannah is commitment to protecting the world's cultural heritage, has into an international reputation for her research and addiction archives has led to believe that the little was broken when the find was defined it up in 1913 i think according even to the law that was back in 1912, uh no, uh, mazda pieces would allow you to, and even if they did the front tire. so 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 that object on board her being on the committee that was supposed to protect the

heritage of egypt, should have known this and he definitely knew this. and he probably started to hide nefertiti in a way that the dixon officers 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 introduce national leaders and celebrities to egypt. high culture excites for the return of cultural heritage from a broad is he too down to get it to you if the division of the fines. * how can fully not make decisions about the laws of egypt? the low was a little in that time, if you discover and in that group, you're going to take it out to be sure. if you discover a statute of

a king or queen made of limestone, you're going to take it out to you. so that's was the law. how this been room to change? i don't, they 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 that additional funds to i can be reached to execute this. it is actually as a 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 to it. the strongest argument with this volunteer between one, and they will all coupon the full 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 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 all the different objects in wisdom museums back, but i think this is a close to hub. what's the significance for addiction past this? and as you said, the transparency of facts of historical yes documents. and i think the most

important because you'll have new transparency you have right now. right. exactly. but yes, african people, i'm not the i think my presentation with memphis, if it goes to a very long time. i comes from the bottom of the 16. my father comes 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 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.

she used old newspaper articles, alleges to recount the 1st time egypt oscar for the bus back a century ago. the objection 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 a french regret at that generosity in crossing 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 site blackmail. they would not get 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, 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 renew for an influential court officials, a prime example of ancient egyptian art. but not very graceful character tourist immediately began to take a is the swap. the time that already been fee is several years earlier that nefertiti might just be a temporary visitor in bed, in an artist had begun work on a copy in 1926. it was to be better than the original technicians have pressed. could use this well as well. most happened with the dates had been sent,

but in 1933 at the very last moment on the hit to intervene to stop the project, which had been agreed during the weimar republic to each this. keep stop. see the mouse getting the money. so the press claimed that he had fallen in love with queen f, a t t that present democracy buskie to me on the 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 best of nefertiti returned to where the story of its appropriation began to the noise museum. the

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, all 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 them, that's extraordinary. she's an object of identification full yes. actually 2 cultures by quarter ongoing this, this arguments that not for city is an impossible. i think makes me very, very angry because an investor that entails and the rustic exchange. i have not seen a company that's only samson and best with it 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 eligible to do that. of kind of germany kind of with it isn't. so it's ridiculous that they say never see through. it's like you're not talking to 5 year on the

left mission. and, and, boy, this is miss dundas, me because she was for me a symbol of a kind of grief and politics of representation that the global most appropriate to in recent years. and it was an attempt to work with an icon that has great power to tell a different story each to so it's not just about nesa t t not then not. now it's more of a launch in our table, but it's what i think is it the question of ownership needs to be clearly defined or to speak to the most will with and if a t t all the other objects to then exhibited or located for assistance that's not the point to so they don't get his gun as of a bunch of decides with a location because that's 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 of an f, a t t,

as part of an art project, the, 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 of the company and who has the power to control the ok 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 of borrowed? yes. all that they travel. and this is mostly the rest of it all except in some individual tyson, that's when did you off my, what was it? but at the end of the day, these options must no longer belong to these powerful institutions. and the global, most men do. and these institutions must no longer control the hell and of these

otherwise, not much would have changed and tucked 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 it costs for the country today. actually it was very important for

us to filter the word that we do get about our body and it's and we show our money means in a great condition. and actually, i remember i made the debate, was of that act of 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, as 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 because of course that you want to be constantly criticized, stays the. it wasn't an easy phase for her, for the whole of society hasn't changed in 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 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 to protect it too. but then for me, that much has been achieved and this, and we just use the highest museum as an institution is finally being put into question of to 200 years new topics. restitution. participation, dakota nice. ation. have triggered rethink. the focus had traditionally been on the work of off, but it's diverse 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 via the greatness of the art business or 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

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 the north, a boundary is already way ahead her number is t t belongs to everyone, the she travel to the does it with has 3 d copy and brought it back to egypt. but that's not true . the august also buried the best in the sand. let's ends, which is the ultimate li. it's plastic 3 d. it will be they have some millennium 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 kids don't suppose do for tv least the question arises whether the bus different, if a t t should be returned, don't know my own so would be we must take the rest of to sion request, serious lankin, and we must learn to listen those 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 offices. those let those who need teach do so for the owners of the pieces have mostly disregarded to mom's restitution. peaceful underneath that slight new ethical approach is needed to do bundled institutional just took,

elizabeth, the the, [000:00:00;00] the or the, the new will tell you. we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting
