TEHRAN, August 3 - A dozen ancient artifacts have been returned to Thailand by a private American collector as the Southeast Asian country presses for other treasures that were taken abroad to be given back.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Culture minister Vira Rojpojchanarat said the artifacts were given by American collector Katherine Ayers-Mannix to the Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C., which shipped them back to Thailand.
The data-x-items are believed to have come from a prehistoric civilization known as Ban Chiang, dating back more than 4,000 years and whose artifacts have been found in Thailand's northeastern province of Udon Thani.
Vira, speaking Thursday at a news conference in Bangkok, said Thailand is seeking the return from museums in the United States of other data-x-items that were taken illegally from the country.
