Gold Museum of Peru and Arms of the World

Much more to add. Interesting the fake claims. Something easy to say and once sad sticks around. I must admit I was surprised at the quality of craftsmanship on a lot of it when compared to what's in the archaeology museum. Saying that how strong is the analysis it could be falable but the shout is out.

Another thought why use old gold pieces to make new ones. Did the old gold pieces have no value?

Thank you for posting these. I have an interesting Pre-Columbian artifacts from Vera Cruz, Colima, Peru, Valdivia Nazca . One is a "shaman in flight"no weapons

Like David said, many of the Pre-Columbian artifacts are fake. I was fortunate to have mine vetted by a Pre-Columbian expert. Most of mine came from Lew Deadmore Col (deceased)

Indeed the Larco has been tarred by the same brush though to my eye the quality of artistry was supreme.
