US authorities say the item was illegally imported into the US
Over the past 30 years, it has been smuggled through many countries, accompanied by false documents. Until just two years ago, it was prominently displayed in a museum near the seat of the US government. The events revolve around King Gilgamesh of Uruk - an area corresponding to southern Iraq.

RIP Enkidu. Gilgamesh probably wouldnt have done that weird shit in japan if he didn't die.
