US Officials Seize Looted Bronze Age Swords from Iran
A shipment declared as “metal decorative articles” turned out to be something else entirely – dozens of ancient weapons, believed to be looted from Iran. US border officials in Philadelphia have now seized 36 copper-alloy short swords and 50 arrowheads that an archaeologist dated to the later second millennium BC (about 1600–1000 BC).
According to US Customs and Border Protection, the package arrived on an express delivery flight from the United Arab Emirates on 16 October and was headed for Jacksonville, Florida. After an X-ray showed sword-like shapes, officers opened the shipment and detained it as suspected cultural property. The seizure was announced days later, with CBP saying the artifacts will be safeguarded until authorities decide their final disposition.
Telltale Shapes Spotted on X-ray
CBP says it was the mismatch between the paperwork and the scan that set off alarms. The agency consulted the National Targeting Center’s Antiquities Unit and brought in an archaeologist affiliated with a Philadelphia university to evaluate the items. On 13 February, the archaeologist authenticated the weapons as ancient and traced their likely origin to Iran’s Talish Mountains region along the southwestern Caspian Sea.
