has been located.

After a career in high tech, I am teaching 9th grade freshman World History (so far for all of a week).

We are doing ancient civilizations.

Is the following question too challenging for kids this age:

The stone that contains the Code of Hammurabi, the Rosetta Stone, as well as mummies and artifacts ended up in European museums. Is it right for those countries to keep these items?
