Ghana Gets the Ashanti Crown Jewels Back from the UK? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

32 priceless artefacts have made their way back to Ghana. They include crown jewels that belonged to the Ashanti kingdom. These artefacts were looted by British soldiers back in 1874, during the third Anglo-Ashanti war. The British took the looted artefacts back to the UK, and these relics eventually found their way to museums. Now, two museums in the UK have agreed to loan these crown jewels back to the King of the Ashanti people. It's a 3-year loan with the King, not the government of Ghana. The King is a ceremonial figurehead who has set up a museum to showcase the country's heritage to the people of Ghana.
