Are they going to return them?
Yes, it says in the article that the British Museum misplaced them a few years back and is so glad they've finally turned up.
lmao.
I'm glad they trademarked history to be honest.
Of course artifacts need a vacation from time to time but they always come back home.

White people and looting Mesopotamia. Iconic duo, yes?
Mesopotamia isn't in Iran, but I understand your point.
There are parts that are in the westernmost area of Iran as it happens (and it'd be pretty weird and obviously bullshit if it followed modern borders exactly) but yeah it's mostly Iraq and Syria now.
Elliot N Ortiz, CBP’s acting area port director in Philadelphia, said: "Customs and Border Protection officers strive to rescue cultural artifacts from the grips of illicit international traders who plunder and exploit another nation’s heritage for profit. "The deceptive practices used to smuggle these treasures into the United States not only violate our import laws but also undermine efforts to preserve and protect the integrity of cultural history."
It's like we're a parody of ourselves some days.
Oh look, ICE doing its actual job.
Why is there a giant ficking bubble blocking the text on the screen telling me to swipe to the next article?
It's there for your convenience.
Heading to Florida.

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...
