"2000-year-old piece of Qin dynasty armor" that was made from plastic.

Huh. How do you suppose they figured out it was fake?

80 of 40,000 would have been good enough for the guy

Silly man. He let his possessions possess him. Sad.

Back when I had a TV I liked to watch the Japanese version of “antique roadshow”. It was always a hoot when these geezers would trot out their genuine, no doubt, you betcha, guaranteed gen-yew-wine Chinese Ming vases that they got for a measly ¥5,000,000 — only to have the experts look at them and inform them they bought a cheap factory-made imitation.

No fools like old fools...

his Hebei museum housed some 40,000 fake artifacts including a "2000-year-old piece of Qin dynasty armor" that was made from plastic.

You would think he would have been tipped off by the Nike "Swoosh" logo on the breast plate of the armor.

It’s sad when people get so obsessed with possessing objects and don’t bother to understand what they possess. I have a few fun items, which are genuine, and I know enough to know how to tell.

The nearly pure gold Roman coin inscribed in Greek letters: “Gaius Julius Caesar - 43BC”, with a Rome mint mark, Caesar’s portrait on the obverse, and elephant images celebrating his successful Parthian conquest 7 years earlier on the reverse is my favorite, although it needs a good cleaning again because it tarnishes quickly. [Don’t bother telling me that I made a mistake - there may be more than one, or two . . . or five in that description.]

Wow! 40,000 fake objects. Even though fake, that’s still work and effort that people went through to make it, not knowing if anyone would ever bite on them

I agree, they should have made it an exhibition of forgeries and maybe even roped examples from Western Europe!

He should have realized it when the guy who sold him the armor made a point of showing the iPhone pocket.
