U.S. Agents Seize Thousands of Ancient Treasures in Florida

On August 28, 2026, federal agents in Florida seized more than 22,000 ancient objects — one of the biggest such recoveries in years. The items, up to 5,000 years old, include Egyptian coffins, old glass, and ancient coins. Agents tied the seizure to criminal groups illegally buying and selling historical treasures — a trade that robs countries of their heritage.
