Some 250 ancient Egyptian artifacts that were found in the luggage of passengers arriving in Paris four years ago were returned Thursday.

French customs handed the trove over to the Egyptian embassy, Associated Press reports.

The items, including rings, amulets, clay pots, funeral statues and other objects, come from different periods during the Egyptian empire, with some dating back as far as 2,000 B.C.
