US seizes $1.6 million ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’ tablet from Hobby Lobby

July 28, 2021

Hobby Lobby purchased it at an auction hosted by Christie’s for $1.6 million.

Representatives for Christie’s did not return The Post’s request for comment.

Hobby Lobby purchased the tablet to be displayed at the Washington, DC-based Museum of the Bible, which is funded by the family of the arts and crafts chain’s founder, David Green.

In a complaint filed in May 2020, prosecutors said the 5-by-6-inch tablet is the property of the Iraqi government and should be returned. Hobby Lobby cooperated with the investigation, the DOJ said.

 

NOTE: the big question is WHY they allowed Christie's POCKET the $1.6 million? hmmmm..... interesting

Hobby Lobby should be refunded.

What's your thought about this situation?
