Amazing things that were found not at excavations, but at flea markets (17 photos)
Sometimes it seems that flea markets are sold not just by ordinary people, but by real tomb robbers, like Lara Croft and Indiana Jones. Or, at the very least, someone simply robbed the museum. How else can this be explained if real treasures of the past are put up for sale? But no, people just decided to sell their valuables and family items for next to nothing. Yes, these are not ordinary online stores! You won’t find any trace of such artifacts there. But the heroes of this post are truly lucky, because they got amazing things!
