Traveling the globe, Waxman met with museum directors, curators, government officials, dealers and journalists to unravel the cultural politics of where antiquities ought to be kept. In the following excerpt from the chapter titled \u201cChasing the Lydian Hoard,\u201d Waxman tracks a Turkish journalist\u2019s dogged quest for the return of looted artifacts, the ultimate outcome of that quest and its consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\">Chapter 6 Excerpt<\/p>\n<p>\u00d6zgen Acar had been a reporter for <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Cumhuriyet<\/span>, Turkey\u2019s oldest daily newspaper, for a decade when, in 1970, he received a visit from Peter Hopkirk, a British journalist from the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sunday Times<\/span> of London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m chasing a treasure,\u201d Hopkirk told Acar, intriguingly. \u201cIt\u2019s been smuggled out of Turkey. A U.S. museum bought it, and it\u2019s a big secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acar had grown up in Izmir, on the western coast of Turkey, and had an early taste of antiquities when his mother, an elementary school teacher, took him to museums and to the sites of the ancient Greek origins of his native city. In 1963 he traveled with his backpack along the Turkish coastline, discovering the cultural riches there. But his abiding interest was current affairs, and he had studied political science and economics before getting his first job as a journalist.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, he was intrigued by Hopkirk\u2019s call. Earlier that year, American journalists had gotten a whiff of a brewing scandal at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Boston Globe<\/span> had written about a set of golden treasures acquired controversially by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and in doing so mentioned a \u201cLydian hoard\u201d taken from tombs near Sardis, in Turkey\u2019s Hermus river valley, that was being held in secret by the Met. In August 1970 the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">New York Times<\/span> printed a dispatch from the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Times<\/span> of London in which Turkey officially asked for details about the alleged illegal export, warning that it would bar foreign archaeologists from any country that did not return smuggled treasures. Theodore Rousseau, the Met\u2019s chief curator, denied that the museum had exported anything illegally, but added, mysteriously, that there \u201cseemed to be hearsay fabricated around something that might have a kernel of truth to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hopkirk, the British journalist, was looking to break the story, but he needed a Turkish partner to help him chase the trail locally. He offered Acar the opportunity to team up and investigate and publish simultaneously in both papers. Acar grabbed what seemed like a good story.<\/p>\n<p>They chased the clues that Hopkirk had from his sources: a group of hundreds of golden pieces\u2014coins and jewelry and household goods\u2014had been found near Usak, in southwestern Turkey. Usak was the closest population center to what had been the heart of the kingdom of Lydia in the sixth century BC. The trove had been bought by the Met, which knew that the pieces had no known origin, or provenance, and was keeping the pieces in its storerooms. Acar traveled to Usak, a small town where the residents said no one had heard of a recently discovered golden hoard. He also went to New York City and visited the Met. He called the Ancient Near East department and spoke to the curator, Oscar White Muscarella. Muscarella told him there was nothing like what he described in his department.<strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #0070c0; font-size: x-small;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>continied at<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #0070c0; font-size: x-small;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulat Tacar to turkish-forum-.
