A Brown quartzite bust of King Tutankhamun was sold at a London auction for 4.7 million (41 million yuan), Reuters reported recently. Egypt has repeatedly asked for it back.
The 3,000-year-old statue, carved according to the young King Tutankhamun, is on display at Christie’s auction house in London. Its shape combines the image of God in ancient Egyptian mythology. The 28.5-centimeter bust is well preserved and was purchased from a private collection of Egyptian art by Resandro. Christie’s said it was acquired in 1985 from Heinz Hezer, a German businessman. Before that, Joseph Messina, an Austrian businessman, bought it between 1973 and 1974.
Christie’s said that an anonymous buyer photographed the statue through an agent.,At the same time, outside the auction house, more than 20 protesters held placards to protest the auction of the statue. The slogan read “The history of Egypt cannot be sold”. “We oppose our precious history like vegetables and fruits.,sell."
Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council for Cultural Relics, said he was disappointed that the auction was held despite repeated protests by Egyptian government officials and embassies. Former Minister of Cultural Relics Zahi Hawass claimed that the bust might have been stolen from Kanak’s temple in the 1970s.
Egypt has long demanded the return of ancient Egyptian relics taken by archaeologists and imperial adventurers, including the Rosetta stone tablet in the British Museum, in line with Greek demands for the Parthenon, Nigeria’s bronzes from Benin and Ethiopia’s demands for Magdala treasures.
