Thanks Fiddlstix. There'd be no doubt that it was a fake if it were an artifact with Biblical connections. G'night all.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

Provenance is everything.

Just because tests show it is at least 1,000 years old, it doesn't mean it is authentic.

Is it just me, or does that have a Danratheresque essence to it?

In any case it never ceases to amaze me every time I hear 'ancient' Korean dates mentioned that are so recent, given their neighbors.

It has been catching me by surprise for forty years...sometimes a slow learner.

Good night, Lucy, and thanks for truly promising to REALLY hold the ball for me tomorrow.
