Most Iraqi Treasures Recovered: "From WaPo :
Reports describing the looting of Iraq's archaeological treasures from the national museum were exaggerated, and most of the precious inscribed tablets, gold jewelry and artwork dating from the birth of civilization have been recovered, a team of U.S. investigators said today."
The biggest prize so far was the discovery this week of the world-famous treasures of Nimrud, which had been hidden for the last decade in a secret vault beneath the ransacked Central Bank in Baghdad ...
... Initial estimates after the war ended in April suggested that as many as 170,000 pieces, including the Nimrud treasures, were lost or stolen during the sacking of the museum, according to U.S. officials. They now say 3,000 pieces remain unaccounted for and may have disappeared into the shadowy world of black market antiquities trading.
