Key objects missing from the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection

Can't believe they left out the Rosetta Stone! I mean, what was thinking? Egypt's got a reputation for being super proud of its ancient heritage so it's kinda weird that they didn't get to have the most important piece of proof for deciphering hieroglyphics. And now the Dendera Zodiac is just chillin' in Paris too... like, come on, who needs the Louvre when you've got Egypt? The Nefertiti bust is another major bummer - I mean, she's basically a historical icon! How are they gonna spin this though? Is it just a case of "we didn't have enough room" or what?

ugh this is not what i wanted to see when i woke up today... the grand egyptian museum finally opens but they're already messing it up by not having some of the most important artifacts like the rosetta stone and dendera zodiac... can't believe they left out the bust of nefertiti too... what's next? the whole point of a museum is to showcase the culture and history, but now i'm just feeling disappointed that it's all about the politics and who gets to control the narrative

This is a total bummer for Egypt . I mean, can you imagine having some of the most iconic pieces of your own history just... missing? It's like they're saying "Hey, we're good without this stuff". The Rosetta Stone is like the key to unlocking ancient secrets and now it's just chillin' in London . And Nefertiti's bust? That's some major bragging rights right there for Germany . I'm not buying that these pieces were just "loaned" or something... where are they? What's the story behind them disappearing? Sources, anyone?!

They really messed this up big time. I mean, can't they get some of their own stuff straight? The Rosetta Stone being held by the British Museum is like the ultimate slap in the face. I get that international loans and collaborations are a thing, but come on, it's Egypt's most iconic artifact!

And then there's this bust of Nefertiti just chillin' in Berlin instead of Cairo. Like, what even is the point of building a museum if you can't get your own historical treasures? It feels like they're more interested in being international friends than proudly showcasing their own history.

I'm all for collaboration and sharing knowledge, but not when it means sacrificing your own national pride.

OMG, I'm like totally bummed that they didn't include those ancient treasures in the museum ! I mean, can you imagine walking into a museum in Egypt and seeing the Rosetta Stone for real?! It's like, so iconic . And Nefertiti's bust is literally one of the most famous art pieces in history - what were they thinking?

I get that museums have to curate their collections carefully and make some tough decisions, but these are just a few of Egypt's most prized possessions! It feels like they're just showcasing Egyptian culture for us tourists or something . I wish they'd make it up to them by creating more space for other artifacts or building an extension, 'cause honestly, the lack of Rosetta Stone is like a major letdown
