Welcome to the voice of America’s news words.

Thousands of ancient objects stolen from Iraqi archeological sites were recently returned to Iraq.

Many objects came from the ancient city of Irisagrig.

Street Green, an America businessman, bought them in 2010.

But an investigation by U. S. officials in 2016 proved the objects in were smuggled into the United States.

To smuggle means to move someone or something from one country into another illegally.

It can also mean simply to bring or take something secretly.
