Brian and all:

I looked through all 700 items (many repeated) on the Amazom.com Art and
Antique pages.  There is, as near as I could tell, only one item that may be an
antiquity.   The rest:  typical souviner junk or plaster type replicas or
worse, plaques designed by people who know nothing about Egyptian art.  There
are, however, a few beautiful statues, but they are not antiquities. Why worry?

Ron
