...of an Egyptian lawyer, Nabil Helmi, professor of law at Zagazig University, to sue Israel for the repayment of what he claims is a 34-century-old debt the Jewish people owes Egypt.
...
The alleged debt is the gold and silver the Egyptians loaned our enslaved ancestors shortly before they demanded that they leave the country.
...
Helmi said the borrowed objects "appear never to have been returned," and that "the government of the modern Hebrew state should make good the debt - plus accumulated interest."
...
With interest compounded annually at 5%, Helmi estimated, today's value of our debt to Egypt is nine million tons of gold...



so, anybody got a gold coin i can borrow ? :P

btw, a similar claim was raised before Alexander the great 2300 years ago, and it was proven that if the ancient egyptians would pay salaries to the 500,000 slaves, for the 400 years of slavery mentioned in the bible it would cost them a LOT more...

so maybe i should sue them ;)
