CAIRO — The splendor of the Queen of the Nile is the star not of any Egyptian museum, but of the Neues Museum in the German capital, Berlin, where thousands admire the 3,400-year-old bust of Nefertiti every day in a domed hall. Therefore, the home of the bust should be the Grand Egyptian Museum. The Nefertiti bust on display at the Neues Museum in Berlin. The Neues Museum did not respond to a request for comment. In July, the New York Museum of Metropolitan Museum of Art returned more than a dozen Cambodian artifacts.

A century ago, archaeologists excavated a 3,300-year-old Egyptian palace in Amarna, which was fleetingly the capital of Egypt during the reign of the pharaoh Akhenaten. Situated far from the crowded areas of Amarna, the North Palace offered a quiet retreat for the royal family. On the west wall of one extravagantly decorated chamber, today known as the Green Room, the excavators discovered a series of painted plaster panels showcased birds in a lush papyrus marsh. The artwork was so detailed and skillfully rendered that it was possible to pinpoint some of the bird species, including the pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) and the rock pigeon (Columba livia). Among the riddles they tried to solve was why two unidentified birds had triangular tail markings when no Egyptian bird known today has them.
