<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 146978, member: 55&quot;]There may be a language or translation problem; I regret that.</p><p>But there can be no doubt that your item is based on the Berlin Nefertiti, which came to light in 1912.</p><p>I hate to say that your friend is misleading you; but even friends can be mistaken, or untruthful.&nbsp;&nbsp; And when dealing with items that are supposed to be antique, one should have an open mind, and be willing to look at the evidence.&nbsp;&nbsp; One then should decide what is most likely, and what is improbable.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please look at the link to the souvenir items based on the Berlin Nefertiti and decide which is most likely:</p><p>there are two possibilities:</p><p>1) Your friend is misleading you by trying to claim that a souvenir-quality reproduction is a genuine antique, when all the evidence shows it cannot be older than 1912, and is likely no older that 1930, and probably 1980-1990 or even 2016.</p><p>2) Or, your item is a real Sumerian antique.&nbsp;&nbsp; To believe that you must understand that the Sumerian culture had pretty much faded away by 1700 BCE; yet Nefertiti was an Egyptian and the original of this sculpture was made around 1350 BCE.&nbsp;&nbsp; So in order to be Sumerian you would have to believe that the Sumerians had invented time-travel, gone forward in time, seen Nefertiti, then returned to their own time to make a copy of the work of the Egyptian sculptor Thutmose.</p><p>Even without time-travel, you would have to assume trade between Sumeria and Egypt, and ignore the dates... and ignore the fact that this item is Egyptian in style, and not Sumerian.</p><p>Which seems more likely to you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
