Shopping
There are several ways to buy archaeological souvenirs. Please note that in some countries, those who illegally trade in antiques or steal archaeological objects may be detained and restricted from leaving the country. Therefore, tourists who want to buy must first be allowed by the local government before they can purchase ancient articles, otherwise, they will bring themselves more trouble:
- Actual cultural relics: Private possession of these cultural relics would be illegal. In any case, this will lead to the destruction of the most precious historical data collected from local archaeological sites. Therefore, you need to strive for authority from relevant government departments with the purpose of archaeological research and careful planning.
- Forged cultural relics: Some local vendors will claim that they are genuine, but in fact they are all counterfeit products, and all they may buy are defective products.
- Official copy: They are usually sold by museums; this will be the safest option for tourists to buy.
