Hahahahahaha! Just how the heck are they going to enforce it? Besides, I seriously don’t believe anyone can make a 100% copy of one anyway.

I’ll tell you what! I haven’t heard of them coming back and taking credit for anything. I’m kinda disappointed.

The Pharaohs may have legally transfered (doubtful see below) Copyright to the Arabs under US law but the Hebrews hold a mechanics lien for unpaid wages!
US Copyright Office Transfer of Copyright
Any or all of the copyright owners exclusive rights or any subdivision of those rights may be transferred, but the transfer of exclusive rights is not valid unless that transfer is in writing and signed by the owner of the rights conveyed or such owners duly authorized agent. Transfer of a right on a nonexclusive basis does not require a written agreement.

"It is Egypt's right to be the only copyright owner for these monuments..." Do the descendents of the Hebrew slaves who built them get a share of the royalties too?

After that, maybe they will copyright spheres, cubes, squares and triangles.

Coin the pyramids (pun intended). It’s beyond a joke! Just as ridiculous as that law they came up with (was it in Peru?) to tax people for rain water.
Isn’t there some revisionist that can come up with a plausible theory that the pyramids were actually designed by a Japanese-trained Korean engineer?

Hawass has been trying to get the British Museum to send the Rosetta Stone to Egypt for display. For some reason the Brits don’t trust him to send it back.

The pyramids belong to the whole planet, not to the Egyptians. They don’t know who built them...maybe they belong to the Jews. How would that go over in Cairo?

Next they’ll be copyrighting Rage Boy.

If anything is grandfathered, it's the pyramids - If they're successful with this, the whole world will soon become copyrighted. Insanity

I think the US should copyright Electricity and the Airplane and let everyone but the Egyptians use them for free.

The Mayans may have a case. LOL -= I was thinking about the Mayan prophecy about "the End" in 2012 - ditto Nostradamus, Hopi, etc...
"The End" isn't the end of the world...but a way of civilization = a new way to be brought about. Maybe God, through kerzillions of years experience in the same amount of other planets in the Super Universe, knows the average length of time a populated planet takes to either succeed or fail = and right now, it looks like the inhabitants of this planet ain't never gonna get it right.
Time to start over?
