The Zeugma tomb stele is also a reminder of the vast cultural and historical riches that have been stolen from Türkiye and are now on display in museums across the globe, as well as the unknown numbers that lay in their inventories, besides those held in secret by private collectors. In the heart of the French capital, he seamlessly integrated these stolen treasures into the esteemed collections of some of the world's most renowned museums — the Louvre, the Musee des Art Decoratifs, and the Musee de Sevres.
In this pursuit, the resolve to safeguard Türkiye's historical legacy becomes a beacon of hope, reminding us all that the preservation of knowledge, culture, and history is a shared responsibility — one that transcends borders, defies time and stands as a testament to the unyielding spirit of a nation deeply rooted in its history.
Zeynep Boz, the dedicated head of the Anti-Trafficking Department at Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, sheds light on the extensive efforts put forth in this crucial endeavour. She emphasises that their work involves a meticulous and exhaustive process of scanning museums, galleries, auction houses, direct sales transactions, and various other sources worldwide.
