Heee!

I want this!

Isn't it awesome and creepy?

Or maybe this one.

Of course this one would be even more fun, but if I had that kind of money I'd be doing other things with it than throwing it at a scammer. (Look at the feedback.) And speaking of scammers, what's up with this thing? If it's real, it's not legal to sell, but if it's not real, why are they claiming it is? Not to get more money, given that it's currently going for squat.

This skull on the other hand, is not going for squat. But it is made of pure awesome. And bronze, but also awesome.

(This is what happens when I get bored. I do seriously want a jackal skull though. I just don't quite want it $45 worth. $45 will buy me another PYO Windstone...)

If it's real why would that make it illegal to sell?

Because real Egyptian artifacts aren't supposed to be taken out of Egypt. They're protected by all kinds of laws. You have to be a genuine museum/reasercher/archeologist to get permission to do anything with them, and then only for research purposes, not for reselling. So if this is really an Egyptian artifact, it was robbed from a tomb and is stolen property.

There is a distant possibility that it could have been found somewhere else, since the Egyptians traded with many people. However, the most likely countries (Greece, Italy) have laws against trading artifacts also.

That, and it looks like it's made of plastic.

I didn't think sabertooth tiger bones were fossilised? It's only been ten thousand years (or less) since they roamed around, eating things. I suppose if it was an ancient skull, it could be fossilised. But I dunno. Kinda looks like a rock with teeth glued onto it. :P
