What you are describing, goes beyond anything imaginable.
Hope you straightened them out
Why wouldn't you offer your services to the museum as a consultant? I am dead serious.

I tried, god knows I tried, but when I told them that those swords were Ethiopian, not "Crusader", and were probably no older than 200 years (more likely 150), not their alleged 850 years.... I was laughed at They seemed certain thorugh some "expert" they knew that those swords were authentic 11th century european swords. Fine with me.

Ive got more important things to do than sulk around in museums. Ive still got to get into a good university first, and focus on my studiying. Sharp, pointy things come later
