Ron and all

Maybe it's just me, but when I see Mayan Terra Cotta Bead, Ancient Olmec
Stone
Carving, Pre-Columbian Terra Cotta Torso, Aztec Double Headed Serpent,
Large Pre-Columbian Collection (complete with links to other sites),
Ancient
and Cute Little Mayan Dog, and Great Collection of 6 Pre-Columbian
Artifacts
all within in the first 250 items of a 773 item site, I'm thinking there
might be some
genuine antiquities for sale, and that sites like the Ancient World link
under the
Art & Antique site of the Auctions file at Amazon.com is encouraging the
trade
in antiquities.

Maybe they're all fakes, like (I assume) the two fragments of the true
cross and
the replica of Robin Hood's sword.  But they sure do look like antiquities.
