Hamah Warnings Or Dangers

Afamia: after paying entrance to the site the warden gave me the following warning - ignore the men who will try to sell you artefacts - most are fake, and if they aren't, then you're doing something illegal buying them. Point taken! I looked around, and saw no one: no such men, and as a matter of fact no other visitors. I was alone. One minute later, out of nowhere, the first guy had appeared, on a motorbike. Did i want to buy an original little statue's head? Good price! i declined, a few times, and moved on. More guys appeared: same statue's head on sale - oh, so very original... even an old dignified man tried to sell me the 14th copy of the same original statue. What can I say? Those statues are clearly fakes... some of the coins that were offered looked a bit more authentic, but the seed of doubt had already been sown. No thanks!
