Artists Secretly 3-D Scanned Queen Nefertiti's Bust And Sent A Treasure Back To Egypt
The unauthorized scan allowed the ancient artifact, kept in a museum in Germany, to return to its homeland.
The bust of Queen Nefertiti, like many precious artifacts from the ancient world, was long ago taken from its home. The Egyptian treasure currently lives in Berlin's Neues Museum. But now, thanks to some neat techno-guerrilla-ism, the bust is also back at home in Cairo.
