take an old vase, drill a few holes in it for an electric cable and put a red shade on top of it, hey presto, a lamp! but this lamp may have had a genie inside, it appears that it was a a rare Roman urn from the first century AD, when the owner died it was put up for auction at Christie’s, the 2,000-year-old ‘lamp’ was initially expected to fetch around £10,000, but you know how carried away some folk get at auctions, well two of them did, the bidding went up to £445,250! I love good luck stories like this, sitting on a fortune but not knowing it, I wonder what happened to the genie?
