An Antiquity Returns to Egypt

A request by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities to France to return fragments of a mural from the tomb of New Kingdom official Tetaki - one of many objects in the Louvre, has apparently been successful, as French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterand announced to the press. Copies of the Rosetta Stone may be found in various museums around the world, though the original is in the British Museum



In the register above, three muu's present a gift to the official Tetaki in Thebes
