Thousands of Egyptians are calling for the return of the Rosetta Stone, which has been on display in the British Museum since 1802.
The museum's most visited piece is now the subject of a petition that has received more than 110,000 signatures. Launched last month by Zahi Hawass, an Egyptologist and Egypt's former minister for antiquities affairs, the petition also demands the Louvre return the sculptured Dendera zodiac.
