This isn't really relevant to anything I've discussed prior, however is it illustrative of the continuing problem faced by countries like Egypt and Greece among others.
When I first saw the headline, I assumed a recovered artifact was returning to Egypt. My thinking progressed to wondering how the Egyptian government in its current state could handle antiquities recovery. Of course I was wrong, and it's another case of artifacts from one country being displayed in another. This isn't a commentary on the merits of that practice; I'm fine with the Rosetta Store and the Elgin Marbles being displayed in Britain. However it's more a story of my reactions to headlines, and a little over-hoping about the state of antiquities in Egypt.
This article was also from Fox News. I always feel they are more fair and balanced when it's not political.
