Mexico has received word from an overseas diplomat that 20 archaeological pieces — some perhaps more than 1,500 years old — have been handed over to the country by a private citizen in Belgium.
The pieces were delivered to Rogelio Granguillhome Morfín, the Mexican ambassador to Belgium, by a Belgian woman named Louise Du Moulin Maria, who noted that her family had been in possession of the Mexican assets for more than 70 years.
Thanks to the #MiPatrimonioNoSeVende (My Heritage Is Not for Sale) campaign, she learned that the pieces “belong to Mexico,” and decided to return them.
