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.

It seems to me when you have something as significant as ancient Egyptian artifacts, you would want them dispersed as far and wide as possible to ensure throughout history, at least some is preserved. Imagine how much was lost of the Alexandrian library due to one fire.

Correct. It is only a matter of time before Egypt falls under the control of a similar raggedy-ass barbarian regime and all those "idols" created before the advent of the Great Pedophile will be destroyed.
