2:03Now PlayingAn ancient sarcophagus which was looted from Egypt by an art trafficking network has been returned to its homeland.
The 2.9m (9.5ft) long "Green Coffin" pre-dates Christ, and belonged to a priest called Ankhenmaat.
It was smuggled through Germany into the US in 2008, before a collector loaned it to the Houston Museum of Natural Science in 2013.
But now, after an investigation which spanned several years, the sarcophagus has been repatriated, with US diplomats handing over the artefact at a ceremony in Cairo.
