My hope is one day that we can see how the entire human race moved about, to see where everybody went when their people disappeared.
Those helmets are amazing.
Wow!!
Just imagine the patience, labor, and craftsmanship involved with making this. Just incredible.
I object to the author’s use of the word ‘murder’ in this phrase: “.....from the Trojar War depicting the murder of Hector’s son Astyanax (Scamandrius) by Achilles’s son Neoptolemus”
It was War and death by combat - not murder.
I know from my hobby of ancient coins that a lot of discoveries have been made in the recent past—i.e. since the fall of communism— through the use of metal detectors.
