Forgeries
and fakes of ancient Egyptian antiquities have existed for
centuries. Growing interest in ancient Egyptian
art during the XIXth century went hand in hand with an
increasing production of fakes -even museum
collections contain a certain number of forgeries (learn
more)-.
Today,
the antiquities marketplace is witnessing a great
development with internet shopping. Modern
fakers, fraudsters and fakesellers are systematically fooling new collectors
with their entirely invented pieces and tourist
souvenirs being offered as genuine ancient artefacts.
This
site is just an attempt to make new
collectors aware of this fact, as well as to
provide images of both authentic ancient Egyptian
artefacts and forgeries. We hope you find it useful.
Inform yourself before buying. It's the best way to fight fakesellers. Don't waste your money!
