  1. not a million years old.
  2. even if they were going to American buyers, the actual thieves don't seem to be American.

I love that the 'million year old' relics can be dated to a period that is defined as between 200,000 and 1,000,000 ago.

Thats one hell of a range, and poor reasoing for the headline.

I want to see a picture of a one million old artifact.

(And yeah, I know what's coming. Sorry.)

Artefacts a million years old? Huh? Oh, yeah, right, they must be from early alien landings on planet Earth.

This type of traffic was unheard of a few years ago, an airport customs official told the AFP news agency.

That is nonsense. Artifact trafficking has a very long history.

The countries change as do the era and culture that is fashionable at the moment but the trade remains the same.
