Thanks for the ping.

I didn't even know that Ramses I-s mummy was in the US.

I think it was a nice gesture to give it back, but I don't think giving back antiquities is a good idea. This way they are all over the world for people to see at least some of the ancient treasures and should anything catastrophic happen in one place/museum (even just something like a fire in a museum, an earthquake, flood, whatever, the rest will be preserved.

The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.

This sounds really exciting. ;-)
