I specialize in genuine ancient artifacts, available at very reasonable prices. I've done work helping authenticate and attribute difficult pieces for museums such as the Getty here in Los Angeles and the British Museum in London, along with numerous smaller museums and educational institutions around the world. My artifacts come from old collections, museum deaccessions, esteemed auctions, dealers and institutions throughout Europe and the USA, and I stand by my coins and artifacts with a 100% guarantee of authenticity. With an over 95% return customer rate, I pride myself in honesty, quality, and good customer relations!

About Gabriel Vandervort
and Ancient Resource
For three years before entering into this fascinating world of ancient artifacts, exploration and travel, I was a producer and writer for History Channel documentaries. I soon became the "go-to guy" for ancient history documentaries, including The Apostle Paul, Saint Peter: the Rock, The Twelve Apostles, and the series The Most. After leaving the production world in 2002 I began developing my own business before launching it in 2004.
I began Ancient Resource as an outlet for my love of antiquities and ancient history. I feel honored to be able to expose people to authentic artifacts of the ancient world, teach them about the history of the world at the time, and help them connect, through physical artifacts and coin portraits, with the heroes and villains of ancient history. I enjoy speaking at schools, bringing coins and artifacts for the children to touch and hold. I see this as a rare and beautiful way to bring the often-intangible subject of history into their very hands.
In late 2004, I set off on a month-long expedition through Egypt and Jordan with my two good friends Kelly and Michelle Ramage. Every day was an adventure-- we avoided the "beaten path" and overly-touristed locations and instead stuck to ancient maps and writings to find our destinations. We roamed the vast Sahara Desert where ancient cities and temples once stood, discovered tombs where the mummies still lay upon their burial slabs, lived in tents with Bedouins who guided us through their discoveries, and rode by horse and donkey through the cliffs of Petra, Jordan-- in my opinion the most beautiful place on earth. See photos and read my travelogue from the trip!
Please enjoy the site! Stay a while and come back soon!
