Nadia's help, the museum agreed to let me inspect the seized antiquities.

"Where are you keeping the antiquities?" I asked.

"Down here," was the response from a curator of the museum.

This kind of "jewy" Ramon punk guy looked a bit out of place, but they told me he was an expert. He might even test that. So, we're about to see the pieces that are being kept here, down in the basement of the museum.

"That's dissipated," Wolf buddy Vic Merced said.

"Histah, do you have a father and mother and the children? How can you authenticate that this is from the Roman period?" I inquired.

"But that's a child with whom we're all staring down at Comicon," he replied.

"The patina on it, and I guess as well the writing—you can see this in menaka. That's how just amazed. That's in Greek lettering; it's based on the Sumerian iconography, but done later."

"Yes, and so would this have come from what is now modern-day Iraq?" I continued.

"Would be. No war," he answered.

"What is this piece—fragmental, Dana?" I asked, pointing to a nearby object.

"No, far from a sarcophagus," he clarified.

"Yes, there's another grave stuff," he mentioned.

"Yes, Samsa Snap. Some have suggested that these are forgeries. Are you absolutely certain these are genuine?" I pressed.

"Ask me, I'm sorting. You know this is the other part of the pieces. The region is the same. The Middle East—there's big money for such antiquities."

"A lot of money?" I questioned.

"Yes, what are we talking about here? Maybe tens of thousands? Maybe hundreds of thousands."

"Yes, with these antiquities and others, is it possible that these have been looted from Syria and Iraq, then transferred through Turkey and through Bulgaria on their way to Europe?"

"Yes, it is possible. Maybe it is one of the ways to bring them to the market in Europe," he concluded.
