It is 2024 now. This is an unusual event. Anna Lee Dozier is from Washington, DC, the United States. She found something that excited historians and archaeologists (考古学家).

Five years ago, Anna was shopping at a store in Clinton, MD. She found an interesting vase (花瓶) on the shelf. It was on sale. She thought it was beautiful, so she bought it home.

In January this year, Anna’s work took her to Mexico. She visited the Museum of Anthropology (人类学博物馆). She was surprised to see artifacts (历史文物) that looked just like her vase. That interested Anna.

When she got back to her country, Anna sent pictures and sizes of the vase to experts. To her surprise, she learned that her $3.99 vase was a real Mexican artifact. It was from the Mayan people, who lived between 200 and 800 AD. The vase is nearly two thousand years old and very valuable.

Instead of keeping or selling the vase, Anna decided to give it back to Mexico. She asked how to return the ancient item to its home country. In a special ceremony at the Cultural Institute of Mexico, she gave it to Mexican Ambassador (大使) Esteban Moctezuma Barragán.

The vase will be kept in a museum in Mexico.
