Washington is preparing to return 8,000 stolen artifacts to Iraq
POSTED ON 2020-08-03 BY SOTALIRAQ Translation / Hamed Ahmed The American News NPR website revealed that the Washington-based Bible Museum, which is known for having huge numbers of stolen artifacts, is preparing to return stolen artifacts to Iraq and to modify the policy and style of its acquisition of rare artifacts.
It is mentioned that, since the museum was opened in Washington three years ago, suspicions have been raised about the way it obtained the artifacts, most of which are stolen and some of them are fake. Museum officials said they will repair the error and that they are now planning to return artifacts to Iraq that they do not know were stolen.
The museum belongs to a chain of stores, Hobby Lobby, known in the United States for antiquities, and three years ago the US government imposed a $ 3 million fine for failing to perform mathematical investigations of their assets. The museum then returned thousands of clay tablets and other relics to Iraq acquired by other countries.
Now, the director of the Bible Museum Hall, Jeff Kidha, says they are now packing more artifacts to return to Iraq, indicating that they did not know they were stolen.
Clue said, the museum realized that more than 8,000 clay numbers and other relics were obtained from brokers in the United States, England and Israel that they had been stolen from Iraq. The museum announced in March that it was returning thousands of artifacts to Iraq and Egypt because it could not prove that it had been obtained legally.
The museum director states that 2,000 other artifacts have now been verified as belonging to Iraq, noting that most of the pieces are cylindrical seals and ceramic vessels dating back thousands of years from Mesopotamia civilization. Responding to an inquiry about whether the artifacts were stolen from the Iraqi Museum, Klawah said, “We cannot verify this. In fact, there are several sources for obtaining these items from Iraq over the past thirty years.
That is why we cannot know from anywhere in Iraq these pieces have been obtained. " "There are at least two agents who work with us as brokers to buy these pieces for us and this work was going on before we opened our new museum," he said. Legal expert on dealing with antiques, Patti Gerstenblath, from the University of DePaul for the Law of Cultural Heritage in Chicago, warned Hobby Lobby stores that importing them of any artifact that returns to Iraq will be accountable as long as there are nearly half a million artifacts registered as Stolen from Iraq since the nineties.
The Iraqi government's advisor, Hisham Daoud, stated to the American website that Iraq is always the victim in this file, noting that the theft and looting of antiquities from the country are still in place. He said he believed that some of the artifacts acquired by the Hobby Lobby store were essentially stolen from the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad in 2003 when it was stormed by the thief during the American invasion.
"It is very likely that it will be," adviser David said. We know that the largest part of the looting of antiquities occurred in 2003, this does not mean that there was no looting before this date. But after the year 2003 there were many and many looting of antiquities. ”
The Islamic World Organization for Education, Science and Culture, ISESCO, held its last international conference last week in Cairo under the slogan of combating illicit trafficking in and retrieving cultural property, with the participation of the ministers of culture of several countries, including the Iraqi Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities Hassan Nazim.
Participants in the conference, which was held via a television circle, stressed the need to recover the stolen antiquities and modernize the national legislation in the countries and international agreements that govern this field in a manner commensurate with the development witnessed by the crimes of theft of cultural property during the recent years and increase these theft in light of the conflicts and instability periods witnessed in some Countries of the Islamic and Arab world.

Washington is preparing to return 8,000 stolen artifacts to Iraq
POSTED ON 2020-08-03 BY SOTALIRAQ Translation / Hamed Ahmed The American News NPR website revealed that the Washington-based Bible Museum, which is known for having huge numbers of stolen artifacts, is preparing to return stolen artifacts to Iraq and to modify the policy and style of its acquisition of rare artifacts.
It is mentioned that, since the museum was opened in Washington three years ago, suspicions have been raised about the way it obtained the artifacts, most of which are stolen and some of them are fake. Museum officials said they will repair the error and that they are now planning to return artifacts to Iraq that they do not know were stolen.
The museum belongs to a chain of stores, Hobby Lobby, known in the United States for antiquities, and three years ago the US government imposed a $ 3 million fine for failing to perform mathematical investigations of their assets. The museum then returned thousands of clay tablets and other relics to Iraq acquired by other countries.
Now, the director of the Bible Museum Hall, Jeff Kidha, says they are now packing more artifacts to return to Iraq, indicating that they did not know they were stolen.
Clue said, the museum realized that more than 8,000 clay numbers and other relics were obtained from brokers in the United States, England and Israel that they had been stolen from Iraq. The museum announced in March that it was returning thousands of artifacts to Iraq and Egypt because it could not prove that it had been obtained legally.
The museum director states that 2,000 other artifacts have now been verified as belonging to Iraq, noting that most of the pieces are cylindrical seals and ceramic vessels dating back thousands of years from Mesopotamia civilization. Responding to an inquiry about whether the artifacts were stolen from the Iraqi Museum, Klawah said, “We cannot verify this. In fact, there are several sources for obtaining these items from Iraq over the past thirty years.
That is why we cannot know from anywhere in Iraq these pieces have been obtained. " "There are at least two agents who work with us as brokers to buy these pieces for us and this work was going on before we opened our new museum," he said. Legal expert on dealing with antiques, Patti Gerstenblath, from the University of DePaul for the Law of Cultural Heritage in Chicago, warned Hobby Lobby stores that importing them of any artifact that returns to Iraq will be accountable as long as there are nearly half a million artifacts registered as Stolen from Iraq since the nineties.
The Iraqi government's advisor, Hisham Daoud, stated to the American website that Iraq is always the victim in this file, noting that the theft and looting of antiquities from the country are still in place. He said he believed that some of the artifacts acquired by the Hobby Lobby store were essentially stolen from the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad in 2003 when it was stormed by the thief during the American invasion.
"It is very likely that it will be," adviser David said. We know that the largest part of the looting of antiquities occurred in 2003, this does not mean that there was no looting before this date. But after the year 2003 there were many and many looting of antiquities. ”
The Islamic World Organization for Education, Science and Culture, ISESCO, held its last international conference last week in Cairo under the slogan of combating illicit trafficking in and retrieving cultural property, with the participation of the ministers of culture of several countries, including the Iraqi Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities Hassan Nazim.
Participants in the conference, which was held via a television circle, stressed the need to recover the stolen antiquities and modernize the national legislation in the countries and international agreements that govern this field in a manner commensurate with the development witnessed by the crimes of theft of cultural property during the recent years and increase these theft in light of the conflicts and instability periods witnessed in some Countries of the Islamic and Arab world.
