"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?

They need to talk with Jesse J to see how far his reparations suit has come first.

The Pyramids at Giza predate Moses by some 1000 years.

Those pyramids at least were built by professionals instead of slaves.

We Jews will take a mere $1.00...compounded at a rate of 1% per year for the last 3,300 years. It comes out to something like $182 trillion. Assuming even 18.2 million Jews (which is probably more than there are right now), this would equate to about $10 billion per person.

If Egypt would even pay nominal interest on that sum to Jewish charities ($100 million/year at 1%), then I'd be OK with them copyrighting the pyramids. Until then, they can stick the pyramids up Hawass.
