LONDON (CNN) -- Marble sculptures representing thousands of years of Turkish history are being returned to their rightful place.

In 1894, the Castor marbles were smuggled out of Turkey, but the ship carrying them to The Netherlands sank in the English Channel.

When the word got out that British divers had found the treasures, Turkey began lobbying to get the items returned.

Now the marbles are going home.
