Missing Iraqi antiquities located in PM Maliki's office, By Doesn't say the author

This article is about Iraqi antiquities that have been returned to the Iraqi National Museum after being found in boxes in Prime Minister Maliki's office. The Iraqi artefacts have been stolen from Iraq a lot of time and later found in the US. There were more than 600 Iraqi antiquities that were stolen and some of the artefacts were 7,000 years of civilisation in Mesopotamia. All of the 638 artefacts were found in boxes in storage in the offices of Prime Minister Maliki. I choose this article because I had no idea about the artefacts that were stolen and I found that interesting. This article is related to the unit that we're studying in class, because today we learned about Mesopotamia in class and some of the artefacts that were stolen from Mesopotamia which is located in Iraq, between two rivers making it a Early River Civilization.
