No, the antiques are genuine, all came from reputable dealers with certificates of authenticity. customs held a few for months checking on the year they were evacuated. After 1970 artifacts can not be sold to private buyers.
Sorry, they are all poor quality fakes. They look like they might have come from Sadigh Gallery, one of the most prolific sellers of fakes of all time. If you did, just return them. He stays in business (and out of prison) by offering prompt refunds no questions asked. Dont take my word for it though. I can give you a list of people who can offer other opinions, though they will all tell you the same thing.
Some came from Times Ancient and others from Ancient antiques back in the 1990, some of the Roman and Phoenician was dug in Lebanon in 1998, by archaeologist Edmond Hachem.
I've never heard of that dealer, but I can tell you 100% none of these were ever excavated despite what you were told. They are very poor fakes. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but you were taken advantage of. Maybe you can consider it a learning experience if you cant return them.
