Egypt wants the Rosetta Stone back, and England won't give it. England conveniently has laws that prevent the British Museum from returning stolen Egyptian artifacts. Additionally, officials at the museum say that Egyptian artifacts are safer in London, and they will remain in London.

You know why the pyramids are in Egypt? Because they couldn’t fit is the British Museum.

There have since been several other copies of the same text discovered in Egypt, as it was basically a boast by the Pharaoh of his conquests and was distributed throughout the country.
