Amuseum for Akhenaten and Nefertiti
IN the heart of el-Minya in Upper Egypt, about 240km south of Cairo, Tel el-Amarna Museum will soon open.
It will be the first museum dedicated to monuments connected with Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti. However, it won't contain the head of Nefertiti, which was smuggled out of Egypt by a German scientist early last century and which the German authorities refuse to return, despite Egyptian diplomatic efforts.
