FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The government of Mongolia had obtained an injunction to prevent the sale of
the skeleton from a judge in Texas where the auction house is based, but it
went ahead anyway,
“We auctioned the Tyrannosaurus bataar conditionally, subject to future
court rulings, so this matter is now in the hands of lawyers and politicians,”
Jim Halperin, co-chairman of Heritage Auctions said.
US Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement the skeletal remains are “of
tremendous cultural and historic significance to the people of Mongolia, and
provide a connection to the country’s prehistoric past.
“When the skeleton was allegedly looted, a piece of the country’s natural
history was stolen with it, and we look forward to returning it to its
rightful place,” he said.
The news release also included a quote from Mongolia’s President Tsakhia
Elbegdorj, saying he was thankful for US efforts to recover the skeleton,
calling it “an important piece of the cultural heritage of the
Mongolian people.”
A June 5 examination by three bataars experts has concluded that the
tyrannosaurus bataar skeleton almost certainly originated in the Nemegt
Basin in Mongolia.
But according to Heritage, the consignor purchased the fossil in “good
faith, then spent a year of his life and considerable expense identifying,
restoring, mounting and preparing what had previously been a much less
valuable matrix of unassembled, underlying bones.”
A statement on the day of the auction said it marked “the first time a
fully prepared Tyrannosaur has been made available at public auction.”
