Iraq gets back looted ancient artifacts from US, others
Over 17,000 looted ancient artefacts recovered from the United States and other countries were handed over to Iraq’s Culture Ministry on Tuesday, a restitution described by the government as the largest in the country’s history.
The majority of the artefacts date back 4,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia and were recovered from the U.S. in a recent trip by Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. Other pieces were also returned from Japan, Netherlands and Italy, Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said in a joint press conference with Culture Minister Hasan Nadhim.
Nadhim said the recovery was “the largest in the history of Iraq” and the product of months of effort between the government and Iraq’s Embassy in Washington. Read more.
Sorry, but due to the cold, inhuman and profit-driven nature of American late phase hyper capitalism, and the appearance of Egyptian gods in the show "Moon Knight®", they are now owned by the Disney Corporation®. Engaging in Egyptology without their consent will result in 5 years of federal prison (which are now privatized as part of Disney Corrections and Convict Labor®) and a $250k fine. Sorry, folks, but there is profit to be had.
Anonymousohhhh please extradite me to the US, Disney daddy! Please send me to jail for the terrible crime of thinking your intellectual property was complete horseshit! I’m writing illegal Hieroglyphs right now, Disney Daddy, and I didn’t even use rubric or an auxiliary particle to start my sentence! I’ve been such a bad Egyptologist
