Museum in row over Great Pyramid stone

[Still Waters]

The Museum of Scotland has been caught up in a row about whether it has permission to exhibit a casing stone from an Egyptian pyramid.

It was announced last week that a block of limestone from the Great Pyramid of Giza was to go on display in Edinburgh.

Egypt's Antiquities Repatriation Department has since cast doubt over its authenticity and documentation.

However, the museum has insisted that a British engineer was given permission to take the stone in 1872.

Go for it I say. What's the worst that can happen? A curse?

I for one would love to see this as there's no way I will be travelling to Egypt anytime soon.

They won't miss a stone here and a stone there, unless the whole thing goes Tetris.

Geez, it's just a stone with whitewash on it. It's not like Egypt hasn't got a million more like it. Chill, dudes dont get your mummys in a sweat.

Make it a breezeblock, paint it white and if you live closer to me than a trip to Scotland you've got yourself a deal

The pyramid is more than they would have you believe.

Egypt should put more effort to the countless looters from their own country that have caused more damage than any others have.
