I doubt this was all that common, because it requires the pranker to have the idea of actual archaeologists to play the prank on, and that isn't something that's been present in all societies across history.

- Tuna-Fish 6y agoArchaeologists aren't that new either. The oldest museum we know of was curated by Ennigaldi-Nanna, the daughter of Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Why do we think she created a museum? When the palace was excavated, dozens of neatly displayed artifacts from widely different eras and places were found. That alone wouldn't be conclusive, except for the fact that the artifacts had labels detailing their origins. In three languages. Ennigaldi-Nanna lived in the 6th century BCE.
