Every time I hear an Egyptian whining about the Egyptian antiquities in museums around the world I think about where those antiquities would be if the Brits and others had not removed them. The Egyptians trashed every tomb they could find, it is BECAUSE the Brits removed them and put them in museums that they are valued. Let them whine, don't give anything back.

In Napoleon's time, Egyptians were burning mummies as fuel. The Rosetta stone was almost broken up for a wall of a fort.
