Delusional is thinking that if it had remained in Egypt it would have been *as safe & well cared for*, while being viewed by millions & millions of people.

*as safe & well cared for*,

Oh goody! Someone who actually believes that the English (who haven't inherited the culture that created the Rosetta stone) is better to care for it than on that did? Wow! That's funny.

For starters, are you up to all the horrible nightmarish treatment that the Elgin marbles got (16 years out in the rain, in the damp North English climate -- that was after 2 years of 23 crates that had fallen over board and had to be retrieved from the water. -- Not to mention the fact that the marbles had to be cut up to fit into the crates in the first place .. then there's the acid bath that the marbles got by mistake ...

But what do you care? The British are caring for them. Yeah, right.

The Marbles, the Rosetta stone -- they don't belong in England. They never did.
