(Hobby Lobby has a history of purchasing stolen items for their Bible museum)
A 3,500-year-old clay tablet that was looted from an Iraqi museum 30 years ago is headed back to Iraq.
Known as the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet, it was acquired by the company Hobby Lobby in 2014 for display in the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. U.S. authorities seized it in 2019, saying it was stolen and needed to be returned.
"Thou shalt not steal." Even if we're talking about cultural artifacts from an ancient culture! (Yet another reason I won't set foot in a Hobby Lobby.)
