Egypt in the News: A new face to the Rosetta Stone exhibit controversy

Activists say no to BP sponsoring ancient Egypt exhibit: Novelist Ahdaf Souief is among signatories to a letter criticizing BP’s sponsorship of the British Museum’s new exhibit on ancient Egypt, which features the Rosetta Stone, ahead of COP27, the Guardian reports. The campaigners also called for the release of jailed activist Alaa Abdel Fattah. The exhibit has already come under fire by campaigners hoping to get the Stone returned to Egypt.
