Thousands Sign Petition to Return Rosetta Stone and Other Artifacts to Egypt

Dr. Monica Hanna is petitioning the British Museum to return treasures to Egypt, including the Rosetta Stone. Museums across Europe and America have relied on artifacts from other nations. Many of these pieces were the spoils of war and remnants of colonization. The Rosetta Stone has helped modern scholars translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Dr. Hanna and her supporters are calling on the British Museum to return the Rosetta Stone to allow Egyptians access to their own history.
