“intensive efforts to retrieve thousands of artefacts found in the unlawful possession of museums and individuals around the world.”

....so the Moslems can claim they created this civilization long before Islam existed.

....then, in time, they will categorically destroy all these artifacts because they are a sacrilege to Islam.

Psssssttt... Hey Egypt...

Saint Peter’s Square in front of Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. Over 100,000 people have been known to squeeze into Saint Peter’s Square on occasions like Easter or midnight mass or after a conclave takes place and a new Pope makes his first appearance to the massive crowds on the square. However right in the center of Saint Peter’s Square, you will find a monument that is impossible to miss called an Egyptian Obelisk. These Obelisks were taken from Egypt by the Ancient Romans so it is rather ironic that right in the center of Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican is a stolen object. So what is an Egyptian Obelisk and why does the Vatican have one?
