I wonder how many of the exhibits were smuggled into the country or bought from looters.

It's already on the interwebs
The smuggling of artefacts that were very likely looted is fact - and there are plenty of reports of the settlement
E.g.
Hobby Lobby Agrees to Forfeit 5,500 Artifacts Smuggled Out of Iraq
Hobby Lobby’s purchase of the artifacts in December 2010 was fraught with red flags, according to the prosecutors. Not only did the company get conflicting information about the origin of the pieces, its representatives never met or spoke with the dealer who supposedly owned them, according to the complaint.
Instead, on the instructions of a second dealer, Hobby Lobby wired payments to seven separate personal bank accounts, the prosecutors said. The first dealer then shipped the items marked as clay or ceramic tiles to three Hobby Lobby sites in Oklahoma. All of the packages had labels falsely identifying their country of origin as Turkey, prosecutors said.
Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

Re: More from N.P.R.

One could argue that Mormons are not Judeo-Christian.
The Mormon Church could be viewed as a heretical Christian Church. While I prefer to think of it as a new religion it was derived from Christianity as Christianity was derived from Judaism.
You might do better to point out that the Mormon scriptures are not included in the Bible.
