US sends photos of 69 ancient artifacts to Thailand for verification

 

 

The US Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) has sent to Thailand photos of 69 ancient artifacts for examinations and verification  as it suspected they were illegally brought into the US.

 

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the HSI has sent photos of 69 artifacts to the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles earlier this month and requested the Thai authorities  to examine and verify if they were from Thailand.

 

The ministry did not give details about the 69 items and the locations where these artifacts were found or displayed.
