* NOTE:  After learning about SGAA I stopped purchasing from them.  Even their Facebook.com site has low turn outs.  It may be that they sold low-quality items at first, or simply sold antique tourist trash from Egypt that were recycled into artifacts to be sold in USA. Other companies like Sothebys or Christies also have issues with items (forged) that find their way to auctions.  Ebay however sells whatever you put on display, with no control over how this is regulated.  Many missing artifacts from Egypt are found there.
