to Mark Grossman. Andre Lopoukhine had possession of the painting and sold the painting to Mark Grossman. Andre Lopoukhine then did not make payment to Morgold Inc. Mark Grossman did not know that Andre Lopoukhine was not going to make payment to Mark Grossman. He purchased the painting as a good-faith purchaser. A good faith purchaser is someone that did not know that an item belonged to some else and paid fair market value. (Kubasek, Brown, Herron, Dhooge, & Barkacs, 2015, p. 280)

In “Bring Them Home,” the author explains why certain countries sell their artifacts to protect them from conflicts in their country. Many countries need a place to send their very important valuables to prevent them from getting damaged. A country will sale or send their valuables to a trustable country.As stated in the article,Greece sent “stunning marble sculptures” that were in the Parthenon Temple to keep them from being damaged by the Turkish Government. Now,Greece has took their independence back and wants their sculptures back.It’s only right to send them back considering that Britain’s job was to

BOSTON, MA (June 23, 2014)—A world-class collection of jewels from ancient Nubia at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), will go on view this summer in Gold and the Gods: Jewels of Ancient Nubia. The MFA’s collection of Nubian adornments is the most comprehensive outside Khartoum—the result of an early 20th-century expedition by the Museum with Harvard University. The exhibition opens on July 19, and includes works by Nubian goldsmiths and jewelers, who were among the most innovative in the ancient world. Featuring some 100 excavated ornaments dating from 1700 BC to AD 300, which will be on view in the Rita J. and Stanley H. Kaplan Family Foundation Gallery, the exhibition explores the royal tombs of kings and queens, which were filled with elaborate jewelry such as necklaces, amulets, stacked bracelets and earrings. The MFA is unique in its ability to mount an exhibition of Nubian jewelry and adornment drawn exclusively from its own collection. In addition to gold––Nubia’s most important commodity––jewelry in the exhibition incorporates precious materials such as lapis lazuli (imported from Afghanistan), blue chalcedony (imported from Turkey), amethystine quartz and carnelian, as well as enamel and glass––both of which were rare and valuable new technologies at the time. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated MFA Publication on Nubian jewelry.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been described by numerous scholars and biblical commentators as one of the most important finds in archeological history. (Top 10 Most Important Historical Finds) The find occurred in 1947 when a Bedouin shepherd came across sealed jars in a cave containing leather scrolls. The scrolls which were subsequently brought to an antiques dealer in Bethlehem were purchased by a Syrian Orthodox Archbishop named Mar (Athanasius) Samuel. ( HYPERLINK "http://bible.org/byauthor/2658/Patrick%20Zukeran" Zukeran) He recognized that the scrolls were in Hebrew and were possibly very ancient. These scrolls were then examined by a prominent Middle East archaeologist, Dr. William Albright, and were confirmed as originating between the first and second century B.C.

My artifact is part of the Egyptian art during Dynasty 12 and early reign of Amenemhat I.

According to, “ARTSY EDITORIAL BY ISAAC KAPLAN,” Isaac was very correct the people are missing the point. We want to protect our art not destroy them. We do want new art but we want it legal and safe. Not a present from during a war. That’s not how we want our art delivered, From criminals. We want the antiquities protected and not let people during war be the cause of destroying and or selling stolen art to America. “This legislation was designed to try and tackle what is a worldwide problem but also a problem internal to this U.S. government about how it coordinates its own response.”

Antiques, they are hundreds, maybe thousands years old, but what if someone just took them from you. You would want them back, right? This valuable prized possession, someone just, stole. Well, imagine it a bit more extreme. That has been the major problem in Egypt for many years. Britain, France, and other surrounding countries have been stealing major antiquities from Egypt illegally for a long time. These countries should give back Egypt’s antiquities because, they deserve to be in their country of origin, these artifacts represent Egyptian culture, and Egyptian antiquities are not only limited to staying in the pyramids.

The coin is about 2,000 years old. This coin is very rare. There are not very many of this coin. There are only a couple left. They think that it’s very rare that a coin so old would just be laying in the eastern Galilee. The eastern Galilee is where Jesus walked on water.

The penalty for goods offered or displayed for sale or actually sold at a total price of $1,000 or more is a fine up to $250,000 or imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both

The United States and its allied partners have made good progress in their efforts to control terrorist activities in many parts of the globe, but these efforts can only yield results if the substantial funding sources of Da'esh and similar groups aren't curbed immediately. They must focus efforts on adopting proactive measures that curb the market of looted and stolen antiquities and artifacts by terrorist organizations. Blood antiquities serve as a major means of funding terrorists ensures their continued existence and the possibility for future expansion. The Middle East is an exceptional archaeological and art-historical palimpsest of vanished and still existing civilizations as illustrated with an array of sites and monuments spanning

The Syrian Warrior God is on display in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Hammer Building as a part of the “Art of the Ancient Near East” collection– a collection consisting of over two thousand objects spanning over four thousand years. Artifacts from all over the ancient Near East can be seen in the various, well lit, galleries of LACMA. With simple cream-colored walls, the stone reliefs, pottery, vessels, and sculptures, all clearly stand out behind their protective casings. Though the galleries offer thousands of artifacts to gaze upon, the collection is well organized and not at all overwhelming.

Guided by “The Illiad” to a site in modern day Turkey, Schliemann, a German archaeologist, discovered a set of rings, coins, goblets, earrings, pendants and diadems knows to us as the Trojan treasure or Priam’s treasure. A collection of 259 gold, sliver and copper peices of jewlery is a small but exclusive share of the more than 8 000 pieces Schliemann unearthed between 1872 and 1890, in his lifelong quest to prove that the Trojan myths were not fiction but instead historical fact.

However, artifacts should not be repatriated to the countries of their origin because museums are to educate people about different places, things, objects, cultures, and eras. If the artifact is donated then the museum’s highest priority is to honor the donor’s wishes. And if the museum found the artifact(s) in a foreign country, then it should stay with museum

There are many similarities in the ethical statements/codes of the SAA, SHA, AIA, and RPA. The ones that pertain to this case are as follows: it is the responsibility of archaeologists to work for the long-term conservation and protection of the archaeological record (SAA 1, AIA 1, RPA 1.1-e). The buying and selling of objects out of archaeological context is contributing to the destruction of the archaeological record around the world, and these items should not be traded, sold, bought, or bartered as commercial goods (SAA 3, SHA 6, AIA 2, RPA 1.2-e). Within reasonable time, the knowledge archaeologists gain

Of the many crimes that are present in this day and age, one that not only vandalizes the property, but as well as historical background is that of art theft. A crime that has taken away the sanctity of churches as well as many other religious and historical sites. Thefts have ranged from WWII (World War II) to the times of the Holocaust. Of the items that were taken from the churches, relics were items of great priority. These items not only had great value to the churches they were stolen from, but a great value to relic collectors. Most of the items taking during these times were either sold or placed in underground storage. Most of these items that were place in these secret places were never to be seen again. From the
