Washington Returns $5M Artifacts to Syria
The American authorities announced the return of 36 stolen artifacts to Syria, including a stone sculpture that was smuggled out before the Islamic State group destroyed the ancient site of Palmyra between 2015 and 2017. The items are valued at over $5 million and were seized from the Museum of the Metropolitan in New York City and several art collectors. The sculpture depicts a man lying with a woman and three children, representing part of Palmyra's heritage listed by UNESCO. The repatriation process reflects cooperation between the United States and Syria to protect cultural heritage and is part of ongoing efforts to recover stolen artifacts worldwide.
