    The house I’m living in in Germany is built on top of a Roman pottery district. I hope they don’t want that one back.

      Difference is that those Egyptian obelisks were not built in modern day Italy by the Egyptians, but the Roman pottery district was built in modern day Germany by the Romans

      A lot of the obelisks in European cities were stolen from Egypt
