Returned, yes - but to Egypt, where it rightfully belongs. The obelisk was erected by Pharaoh Tutmoses III of the 18th Dynasty. It is one of a pair; the other is in the Hippodrome at Constantinople.

What about all the other stuff that people left lying around or stole from other nations? How about gold recovered from sunken Spanish galleons near Cuba and Florida, should that be returned to whoever is living in Central America now? Should all the Roman ruins everywhere be loaded up and dumped inside the old city wall of Rome? Should the 13 colonies be returned to England?
