Nefertiti - The Lonely Queen

Vast numbers of cultural treasures were taken from their countries of origin during colonial times. Cultural activists demanding repatriation explain the necessity of having their cultural heritage in an accessible place in the home country. The turmoil in Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria has led to mayhem in the cultural heritage domain: looted museums and looted archeological sites. To make money, the Islamic State sold looting licenses to entrepreneurs and professional art thieves. Looting now takes place on an industrial scale.
