I'm just going off of what I heard from the BBC. I live in the U.S., yes - but on the Public Broadcast Channel, they have an airing of the past weeks events. Sorry for the mixup, but don't blame the messenger!

It was a agreement between Italy and Ethiopia negotiated by UN
The issue abut transport and the cost of transport was the only problem to be solved.

This is Info from UNESCO....

And yes it should not be Hawass law
But he are speaking with UN resolution in his back...
His language can be a little bitt direct so i understand the confusion

But he is the man in charge so you just have to get used to it and
read between the lines......

Hey how abut this i found at the Museum of London

Dont remember who it was that claimed that Cairo Museum
did not show all their objects,
I also asked why people visited the museum? Now we got the answer
well read this abut Brittish Musem
and tell what you think of their own behavior

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Neal Spencer, Assistant Keeper of the Department of Ancient Egypt
and the Sudan at the British Museum

“About 90% of all visitors to the British Museum come specifically to see
the Egyptian Section, and the Rosetta Stone in particular”, he confirmed
in an interview in his office at the museum. However, he admitted that
only 4% of the estimated 110,000 objects at the museum are on display.
The rest are stored and classified and only taken out for research, special
exhibitions or conservation work. These objects are only accessible by
appointment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now I now its abut money and nothing else
So what can we say You dont send that stone back and
lose 90% of the visitors when you have nothing else to replace it with

DROP IT, for Gods sake can this sodding conversation over the Rosetta stone just stop? All it does is cause rifts and problems for us all. Stop it now before we end up with this topic locked!

Why thank you, Si-amun, for saying what I was gonna say.

Its ok, it makes a nice change for me to NOT cause / carry on the row! lol

Well what is wrong with you people
Drop this, Shut up Lock topic Is that your answer
Maybe you should Bann me from this forum

When someone use arguments in a Debate and they are proven wrong
is there not the freedom of speech and civil rights to tell abut this.

If you have such low and I mean Low... self knowledge that you have
to lock a topic when your arguments are empty, when you now that
you have told a lie then its soooo low.

Why not make a comment on the fact that your Museum
is holding the Stone hostage be cause 90 % of your income
is in fact because you have the stone

And to tell us that you do such a great work showing those relics to the public
when you in fact are only showing 4%

Why not comment that???????????????????????????????????????
instead of telling people to shut up!!!! come down from your high horses
and be a real human. If you cant take this then you surely would
BANN me from this forum because I want shut up...

Now I stated my point and want continue this silly stupid argument with
you as long as you acting like spoiled children.... and grow up
