163 Achaemenid tablets that were returned to Iran from the US last year were showcased at the National Museum of Iran.


According to The Iran Project, in September 2023, during the visit of Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi to New York, Iran reclaimed 3,506 Achaemenid tablets from the Americans after more than 85 years.

163 of the reclaimed Achaemenid tablets were showcased at the National Museum of Iran on Saturday in the presence of the deputy minister of Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization, and the foreign ambassadors.

So far, 5 shipments of tablets have been brought to Iran, according to the director of the National Museum of Iran.
