This bad seller manages to sell so called cunieform tablets such as most definitely never existed in ancient times.
Look at these ridiculous things!
The buyers on eBay who fall for such as these simply don't know anything at all about such artefcts.

Manhattan art dealer is sentenced to five years probation for fake Egyptian artifact factory where he sold spray-painted and varnished phony relics for up to $4k to unsuspected collectors for decades

    Mehrdad Sadigh, who sold fake artifacts at Sadigh Gallery on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue since 1982, was sentenced to five years of probation on Tuesday
    Prosecutors allege that for the past 39 years, Sadigh passed off the fake artifacts as ancient relics to unsuspecting customers
    To remain under the radar, Sadigh said he hired a company to remove customers' complaints online and bury negative reviews
    He said he also convinced people to write fake positive reviews about his store
    Sadigh was caught after selling to undercover federal investigators a fake Egyptian and Roman relic for $4,000 each in August
    After the sales, members of the DA's office and Homeland Security Investigations visited the gallery and found hundreds of fake artifacts displayed
    Investigators also found the tools that Sadigh used to age the phony antiques, varnish, sanders and spray paint
    Prosecutors say that, based on the number of years he ran his business, it's possible Sadigh may have been the biggest seller of fakes in the country
    Sadigh pleaded guilty to charges of scheming to defraud, grand larceny, criminal possession of a forged instrument, forgery and criminal simulation

They should have got him to clear up the mess he left on the internet too!!

These  are  amazing!

Everything has to be genuine because his web site features a You Tube video of his recent grave robbing trip to Iraq. Shows him hightailing it over the border with Nebuchadnezzar's stuff, hot lead flying from AK-47's the whole while. What a guy to put himself in personal danger to offer the antiquities world such wonderful stuff, and at bargain basement prices! No, I'm not serious.
