The “Elgin” Marbles and the Rosetta Stone - Repatriation and Justice

Описание: Greece may soon come into possession, however temporarily, of the marble friezes taken from the Parthenon in the early 19th century. This got me thinking: how similar is the story of Elgin and the sculptures he loved to the story of the Rosetta Stone? And can the story of the Marbles and their calls for repatriation give us any insight into what should happen to the Stone?
