Egyptian Museum staff present the bottom of a looted ancient sarcophagus lid during a ceremony after its repatriation from Israel on June 21, 2016 at the Egyptian Museum in the capital Cairo. Two sarcophagus lids -- one dated to between the 16th and 14th centuries BC and the other between the 10th and 8th -- were delivered to Egypt's ambassador to Israel on May 22, 2016 and returned to Egypt on June 21, 2016. Egypt said the ancient artifactshad have been illegally imported after they were smuggled out of their homeland through a third country.
