“Iraq Receives 6,000 Looted Artifacts Returned from UK” – Iraq has received 6,000 looted artifacts returned from the UK, some of which date back 4,500 years. This is the second-largest repatriation of cultural heritage in history, and Iraq’s government sees it as a major step in protecting the nation’s identity and ancient civilization.
The return of the artifacts was facilitated by cooperation with the British Museum and took place during President Abdul Latif Rasheed’s visit to the UK, where he attended King Charles III’s coronation ceremony. Despite efforts to protect Iraq’s cultural heritage, thousands of ancient artifacts have been lost or destroyed since the 2003 US invasion.
