If the british museum returns everything then there wont be anything left in their museum.

If the british museum returns everything then there wont be anything left in their museum.Heck, the Brits don't even know how to take care of their own historical treasures.
That's why Robert McCulloch volunteered to buy London Bridge and move it to Arizona.

I've been to the museum in Cairo. Things are basically stacked wherever they fit.
if they REALLY cared, they'd make more of an effort. They are just trying to flex their muscles

actually the museam has a huge collection of celtic, saxon, roman and ancient briton artifacts so i doubt they wouldnt be found lacking in display items however i went there just to see the Egyptian pieces. one thing i found interesting was the similarities between the Maya and early Egyptian artifacts. even though i consider myself fairly knowledgable about history i would be able to pick out some of them in a line up.
