When the state religion of Egypt ceases to be that of the Arabians and returns to that of the Egyptians I will consider sympathizing with that demand. But until they can return to a home that honors them and is not ruled by the desert iconoclasts, these antiquities, the common heritage of humanity, should rest safely and comfortably right where they are now.
