As of the current conditions, the British Museum owns the Rosetta Stone, which Napoleon found in Egypt; so the question remains which country should keep the Rosetta Stone? The argument is that the nation on which the artifact was found is the one that should keep it, but why shouldn't everyone especially those over seas not be able to enjoy it because of a nations greed. On the side of Egypts argument though, this was a major find that linked them to their past so that they were able to once again read the hieroglyphs on the inside of the many pyramids and tombs in Egypt. Each side has a solid argument, so should a law be made to solve this problem once and for all.
