I know this is a month old, but I didn't see it posted.
Lost tombs ping.
Huh?
Schliemann’s find was spectacular and means a great deal to those who understand what was found.
Here is another find that makes fools out of those who denied the existence of those found.
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
The Odyssey - One of my all-time favorite stories. This is so cool.
What's this GGG Ping? So far I've seen three or four really interesting threads with it tonight! I love archaeology.
It's a joke; Ithaca NY is the city of evil, due to the perilously high concentration of truly idiotic academic liberals at Cornell and Ithaca College.
BLL regularly posts of the stupidity found thereabouts.
Very interesting, thank you for posting this article.
I hope more comes to light in the near future, would be interesting to see more evidence.
After all the FR reports of the leftist craziness in the American Ithaca, I'm unable to think of that name without adding "the city of Evil"!
GGG is the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" ping list, SunkenCiv pings the list about once a week or so (FReepmail him to get on the list).

Cool find ping!
I thought that was probably what WC was referring to, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn't some tidbit of Greek history that I was totally ignorant to.
"The Odyssey - One of my all-time favorite stories. This is so cool."
One of the coolest things ever. The neat thing is that the evidence is so strong.
Cool, thanks! SunkenCiv, could you sign me up?
Quite interesting; thanks for posting.
GGG PING
Fascinating! Thanks, wagglebee for posting this.
(I am pinging for SunkenCIv for a couple of days)
