Egyptian MP says artefacts should be used for income

Qandil wants to showcase Egyptian relics globally Egyptian parliamentarian Eman Qandil has proposed showcasing Egyptian artefacts in international exhibitions, with Egypt still keeping the copyright claims to the objects. The Wasat party member called for a two-day conference on Wednesday during a meeting of the Committee of Culture, Tourism and Media concerned with Egypt’s Shura Council.
She stressed the need to invite archaeological experts to discuss how to protect and benefit financially from the Egyptian relics, which she claims could become a main source of income for the country.
