Tiff Over Nefertiti

Bust of Queen Nefertiti (1350BC)The Egyptians and Germans are having a bust-up over the German-owned bust of Queen Nefertiti. The Egyptians want her back for an exhibition, but the Jerries say she's too fragile to travel. She is knocking on a bit - more than 3,000 years old -, but I suspect they're afraid that once the Egyptians get their hands on her they won't return her to the Fatherland. She was Queen of Egypt.
