My expedition journal art book was detained by customs for being “possibly ancient” 🗿 from r/expedition33
The consequence of this accidental realism is quite extreme. Ahmed explains that the book has been officially transferred to the Iraqi Museum’s Technical Committee. Experts must now formally certify that the item is a modern video game supplement rather than a newly discovered piece of lost history. Imagine spending $120 on a special edition only to have it undergo a national forensic evaluation.
Despite the bureaucratic red tape, the fan is maintaining a sense of humor. “10/10 experience; I’ll definitely try to ‘accidentally’ import world history again,” they joked. The Reddit post includes photos of the book alongside what appears to be a formal letter from the Republic of Iraq’s Ministry of Culture.
While we certainly feel for the owner’s wait, there is an undeniable irony in an art book being too good at its job. If you’re planning on traveling with high-end gaming collectibles soon, you might want to keep the receipts handy—or hide them from museum curators. Interestingly, the developers at Sandfall Interactive recently received a rare honor from the French Ministry of Culture, a distinction previously held by legendary creators like Shigeru Miyamoto.
