A group of archeologists has banded together to demand the return of the ancient slab.
in 1799 by French soldiers during Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Egypt. Following the defeat of the French army by the British, the stone was declared as property of the British, along with 16 other antiquities that the French had dug up. It has been on display at the British Museum since 1802, and the former colonizers of Egypt really don’t want to give it back.
The significance of the Rosetta Stone holds especially true for Egyptians, allowing them to understand the history and culture of their ancestors. But as the British Museum notes on its website, the Rosetta Stone is, “one of the most famous objects in the British Museum,” even though the stone signifies the country’s colonial history. Aside from the Rosetta Stone, the British Museum has tons of stolen artifacts that it refuses to return to their rightful owners.
