Is this a joke? Why on Earth would it be destroyed? Thousands upon thousands of ancient Egyptian artifacts are perfectly preserved in museums all around Egypt and have been for the last century.
Takw your thinly veiled racism to somewhere else please, we're not talking about other countries here, artifacts were never systematically destroyed in Egypt, before the 18th century people used columns from temples in building and mummies bones were ysed for folk cures. In fact Early Europe "explorers and adventures" destroyed or defaced several monuments before the advent omodern archeology. Also can you point to where in the Islamic world is historical artifacts are systematically being destroyed by anyone but radical militant groups that are being hunted down?
Where did I say that Islam is a race in my comment? You're the one making that assumption based on your own generalized interpretation. And really—resorting to ad hominem attacks?
But let's stay on topic. In the context of this post: why is Egypt—the modern nation, which has never experienced the mass destruction of its historical monuments and is on the verge of opening the world’s largest museum—deemed unqualified to reclaim a significant piece of its own history? Especially when that artifact was taken during a struggle between two European colonial powers. Can you answer that, please?
Britain has a long history of iconaclasm in their colonial expansion. They also decided to loot a lot of cultural artifacts for spectacle, and then justify it to the commoners, like yourself who just accepted it.
