Yet more evidence that the Iliad was the Literal Word of the Gods. Repent, unbelievers!

The Italian School of Archaeology has been digging at the site since the early 20th century, in co-operation with Greek state archaeologists.With perhaps an interlude in the 1940s.

Any pictures? This was very easy to find through Google News Search:
The head from a statue of the ancient Greek goddess Athena lies in the dirt of an archaeological excavation site near Iraklion on the island of Crete yesterday.
The statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is one of two found at the site by a team of archaeologists from Italy who are currently digging there.
The other statue is of the goddess Hera, queen of the Greek gods and wife of Zeus.
The Italians also uncovered a Roman theater during their excavations at the site, which is located in the area of Aghioi Deka.

Like your tag line ------ "(My common ground with terrorists - They want to die for Islam, and we want to kill them.)
I was going to use something similar (Muslims, they want to die for Islam, we need to help them achieve that goal.)
Still might if you don't mind.

Arab invasion of course most invaders at the time were although there were others (Persians, non arabized North Africans, etc mixed in.
But Muslims they all were for sure. Why omit the critical word here: Muslim...?
