Guatemala stakes claim to stone lintel by 'the Michelangelo of the pre-Columbian era' that was repatriated to Mexico

A Maya stone lintel, dating from AD600-AD900 and depicting a ritual scene associated with the ruler Cheleew Chan K'inich, was repatriated to Mexico on April 16 after being turned over to the Mexican consulate in New York by an unnamed US businessman. However, hours after the ceremony, experts determined the lintel actually originated from Guatemala's Petén Basin. Guatemala's cultural ministry, led by minister Luis Méndez Salinas, has formally requested the object's return through diplomatic channels, citing technical analysis and consultations with archaeologists.

The United States repatriated seven ancient artifacts to Egypt, including two mummified fish, a falcon head from the Ptolemaic period, a bronze amulet of Set, a basald scarab, a carved face, a painted wooden funerary figurine, and a stone head from a statue. The objects had been smuggled out of Egypt in separate cases between 2017 and 2018, and were returned through collaboration between U.S. and Egyptian government agencies. Two items were voluntarily handed over by an unnamed American citizen to the Egyptian embassy in Washington, D.C. The artifacts were formally transferred to Ambassador Wael el-Naggar at a ceremony reaffirming Egypt's commitment to recovering smuggled cultural property.
