Greetings,
I have heard the British Museum has vaults full of artifacts.
There is always something being 'discovered' as it has been left forgotten in a box somewhere and sometimes it is rather too 'convenient' for it to appear just then, but also seems to be authentic...so there are probably collectors who 'sit on' items until the opportune moment....alongside the forgers.
If you consider the number of people in this world and the artifacts they must have left, that is allowing for war destruction, the remoulding of weaponry, long usage, cremations and disintegration of inhumation artifacts, there is still a huge descrepancy...
regards
Arthes
