Smuggling history |
| Abu Mustafa has his own little museum in front of his fish shop in the small fishermen harbor of Tyre. “Ten thousand dollars for all of it,” he says to the tourists who ask. “If you ask by piece, they’re five dollars, $10, $30. It depends on the piece,” he adds, pointing to an ancient amphora and to a Bacchus mask he says he recovered some time ago. Small-scale commerce in relics from ancient submerged Tyre is good business. Abu Mustafa sometimes recovers them while he’s fishing, and sometimes he dives especially for them. He has been doing it since he was 10 years old. Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Phoenician. They all pay. He explains he lives off of selling these artifacts to tourists, as many of the fishermen in Tyre do. Labels: byzantine, collectibles, lebanon, museum, roman empire |
