Benin bronzes looted in the past and returned to Nigeria are examined by Government officials during a handing over ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria, Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022. Germany returned 20 historic bronze sculptures to Nigeria as part of efforts to address what its foreign minister called its "dark colonial past." Nigeria officials said that more than 5,000 ancient artifacts are estimated to have been stolen from Nigeria, the majority by England, the country's former colonizer and some by Germany.
