Three preposterous forgeries on eBay right now

October 05

 

 

 

 





  • The overall style is sort of Egyptian.
  • The iconography is wrong
  • The supposed hieroglyphs are not real hieroglyphs.
  • The ancient Egptians did not write nonsense apart from some fairly rare magical spell "symbols" and some corrupted signs and quasi cartouches on some steatite scarabs.

Here are some ridiculous forgeries  which have sold on eBay recently.

These really should not get past even the most unknowlegeable buyer as they are so wrong; quite apart from the signs not being hieroglyhs at all.

I'm showing them here only because someone passing by might have innocently bought one.
