As much as I sympathize with a nation wanting its cultural heritage back, after what I saw the Taliban do to the statues of Buddha in Afghanistan, I’m in favor of as much human cultural heritage to be removed from their influence as possible.

Exactly. Egypt is thisclose to going fundamentalist, and a fundamentalist Egyptian regime would make me fear for the Sphinx and the Luxor statues.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Please, no pics of Zahi "Zowie" Hawass. Thank you. Blam. ...steles, or large reliefs, that date back to the time of the Pharaohs. Hawass said the Louvre purchased the four archeological reliefs that were stolen from a tomb in Luxor in the 1980s. It should extend to paintings and all other modern art as well -- IOW, all those impressionist works need to go back to France, the National Gallery needs to return that da Vinci painting to Italy, those big heads need to be sent back to Easter Island...
