I am kind of embarrassed to admit that until recently I thought Rosetta Stone was a woman.

“The basalt stone was discovered by French soldiers in 1799, but was ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Alexandria in 1801...”
Case closed. It stays put.

That would make it easier for a future Islamist government to destroy it as a "pagan relic". So sure, go right ahead and send it back...

The Greeks have a better chance of getting the Elgin Marbles back.

The French want their furniture back and that ain’t happening. The English won them fair and square as spoils fo war. They will continue to be stored and displayed near the bloody tower.
The Rosetta stone will stay as well.
Though I can why both countries want their stuff back, they haven’t really needed it for anything particular.

They also need to get the Elgin Marbles back to Greece. The Poms should know that the spoils of empire were often THEFT.
