There's no English on the Rosetta stone.

I'll trade you one hint for another. There are far more English people who can read what's on the Stone than there are Egyptians. And I bet a lot of Freepers can read the Greek text.

I sincerely doubt it.

How can you possibly justify the theft of a article as "cultutal hertitage" when the culture that stole it didn't even exist at the time when the artifact was created? Don't given me any bull about the British are just "caring" for the object, blah, blah, blah and because of this, they have a right to their loot?

The British has no more right to the Rosetta stone than the Egyptians or Greeks have to the Mary Rose.
