Problem: Rosetta- Stone Homecoming

Step I: Choose one object from the numbered list below as the focus of the assignment. You will have to do a basic Internet search to find articles/short writings on the controversy. Cite one or two articles/writings that you consulted at the end of your paper. Wikipedia is ok. Library research is not required. Write a 1-2 paragraph summary of the controversy concerning your chosen object. What was the object originally used for? How did the object get into the current museum's collection?

Step II: Imagine that object was returned to the country of origin. Or even that the object had never been taken in the first place. What is the significance of the place where it is now kept? How to people engage with the objects? Are there are other things near the object? What are they? Write a 250 to 500 description. If you decide to do an illustration of the space, then just write about 100 words explaining how the space is used and include your visualization.
