The UK should also return the entire Egyptian collection they looted.
- pnako 6y agoYes, the Egyptian collection, including the Rosetta stone, should be returned to France. (Under no circumstance should it be returned to modern Egypt, which doesn't care about ancient Egypt and used the Rosetta stone as construction material before it was found by an officer of Napoleon)
- soraminazuki 6y agoThe Rosetta stone was found in 1799, how is it fair to put the blame on "modern" Egypt? It looks like you're glorifying theft.

The problem is that we never really fessed up to the crimes we committed during the empire, so it’s politically toxic to start pulling at that thread. There’s a lot we would have to apologize for that it would be far easier for our politicians not to have to talk about.
