Imagine the headaches if all the Worlds thefts were handed back, the insurance companies would collapse police forces would be twiddling their thumbs.

Egypt has no viable claim, in law, to this artefact.

Whether they have a moral or ethical claim to items plundered by conquering armies in centuries past is arguable.....but morality/ethics is a difficult card for the Egyptian authorities to play with a straight face. :|
