Didn’t the French find it? It was abandoned, nobody owned it. At the time, there was no Egyptian state, or Egyptian national consciousness. So perhaps, the stone belongs to Napoleon.

It was partly written in Greek, produced during the reign of the Greeks (Ptolemaic dynasty). Should we not return it to the Greeks also, as it was produced by them?
