Carved by a Roman sculpter in 400BC the bust has been authenticated by experts at Bonhams, It is unmistakably the king, the quiff flowing locks, pensive eyes and parted lips of this bust are the spitting image of Elvise.

The bust once adorned a burial chamber for ancient VIPs and is named Acroterion, i looked that up and only found pages about stained glass.

Hmmm... I don't know. I'd have to see him move his hips.
 
It would lend some credence to all the Elvis sightings, which seem to have been going on forever.
