Thrift Store Find Turns Out to Be Priceless 2,000-Year-Old Mayan Artifact! 🏺✨
Anna Lee Dozier struck gold at a local thrift shop in Clinton, Washington, when she picked up a unique vase for just $3.99. Little did she know, this bargain buy would turn out to be a 2,000-year-old Mayan ceremonial urn! 🏺🌟
Five years after her purchase, Anna visited a museum in Mexico and noticed vases that looked eerily similar to her thrift store find. Curious, she inquired about the repatriation process for such artifacts. After exchanging photos and undergoing authentication, it was confirmed: Anna’s vase is an authentic Mayan artifact dating back to between 200 and 800 AD! 🏛️📸
This incredible discovery is now on its way to being officially authenticated and will soon be displayed in a Mexican museum for everyone to admire. Talk about a thrift store jackpot! 🎉🏺
