From Egypt to France and on to Britain, Marc Fennell decodes the story of the Rosetta Stone: how it ended up in London, who really took it, where it belongs, and why it remains one of the British Museum’s most contested treasures.
Episode 3 of Stuff the British Stole — featuring Chidi Nwaubani and Looty’s digital reclamation of the stone — runs 30 minutes and streams free on ABC iview.
