Egypt Returns Antiquities To Peru

LIMA -- Egyptian authorities returned on Monday archaeological artifacts to Peru that had been smuggled into the country.

During the ceremony, Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim gave Peruvian Ambassador Alberto Galve two Chancay Cuchimilco figures, one male and one female, made between 1,000 and 1,400 AD, long before Europeans came to the continent.

The Egyptian official and the two diplomats remarked on the importance of the event, which highlights the global fight against the antiquities black market, today's equivalent of grave robbers who plundered the tombs of the Pharaohs millennia ago, Prensa Latina reported. (source)
