r/MiddleEastNews - Iraq puts looted artefact on display

The 3,500-year-old Gilgamesh Dream Tablet has gone on display in Iraq for the first time in three decades.

It was looted from an Iraqi museum during the 1991 Gulf War and smuggled through many countries before ending up at Washington DC’s Museum of the Bible.

US authorities seized the tablet in 2019 and handed it over to the Iraqi embassy in September.
