<p>[QUOTE="Asian Fever, post: 359020, member: 4494"]For most excellent zombie replicas, I don't think anyone can tell they are not authentic because they used origional white bodies, materials and producing methods. After production, they will be professionally and carefully sanded. (And then a very easy way and secret way to make it exactly old enough to pass thermoluminescence.) Next step, they will be put into the old tombs and get moistures and "Yin Qi"(kind of psychic atmospher) sucked inside it, which normally takes several months to several years. At last, they will be digged out and cleaned(pictures will be taken to shown they are originally from tombs <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>The cost of making these replicas is very high - normally cost thousands to tens of thousand dollars, and and these replicas are pretty rare, so sometimes even people know they are replicas, they still will spent a lot to buy them as real antiques.
