All potential bidders and buyers of antiquities from Egypt are " ALL " 100% fake because of export laws by the Egyptian Beareau of Antiquities. It is punishable for up to 15 years of incarceration at "hard labor" for anyone who tries to extracate antiquities out of Egypt. Egyptian laws are tuff and prisons in Egypt are full of Egyptian and foriegn guest doing hard time for their greed on forged moves on trying to rip off the Egyptian goverment,..they certainly do not play around. Because of such laws, the USA Customs and Federal Regulation prohibits imports from Egypt without a document of export and declaration only granted by the Egyptian ministries of Antiquities, or touring of a National Treasure, so remember, next time you are a winning bidder of a King Tut artifact or perhaps a balsalt or limestone relief, don't get excited, you just bought a FAKE from Egypt. All mummy mask and wooden objects from an Egyptian seller are NOT Acacia or Yew wood, the only 2 woods native to Egypt,  however, you just bought a old antique spindal column widdled into a magnificent FAKE Egyptian artifact.
