Antiquities expert Sherif Shaaban said that the remains of the ancient Egyptian priest Nakht were not smuggled out of Egypt. Rather, they left the country in the early twentieth century under the “division” system, which allowed finds from foreign expeditions to be shared with the Egyptian government, and arrived in Glasgow in 1923. Their return can be sought through a formal request from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Supreme Council of Antiquities, in coordination with the Foreign Ministry and diplomatic channels. Glasgow Life has received a request for their return, but it is still under review. Shaaban said removing the remains from display out of respect for the sanctity of the dead was a positive step, but he believes returning them to Egypt is the best option.
