I can only imagine how many ancient artifacts are stolen; Humanity needs the messages these important pieces of History have to re-mind us of whom we are + the keys to unlocking these truths. Happy these have been re-discovered. I am sure headed to a market to re-produce + sell as originals; + HIDE away the 'energy-filled pieces of our Ancient Heritage'. Just in awe at the amount of artifacts. Staggering. Thanks for doing your job well and returning them to the museums of which they belong.
