I'm not sure if anyone's interested in this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/elevator-project-old-jerusalem-leads-072844509.html

Basically, while a construction company was was working on a site to build an accessible elevator for an university, they unknowingly unearthed a first-century mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath.

I'm letting the delegation off for a while due to the heat/humidity (they're enjoying the extra hydration of tinned food as well as freshly changed filters for their water fountains.)

Another gram that I'm not sure if anyone's interested in: https://www.yahoo.com/news/prehistoric-viking-weapons-revealed-glaciers-161029567.html

In case the article's taken down, it is/was about prehistoric Viking weapons revealed as glaciers melt. As I stated towards the beginning, I'm not sure if anyone's interested.

I really enjoyed this paragraph (the rest was intetesting, too):

Experts say they are hopeful the discovery of the villa’s floor will shed light on the building’s first owner, Publius Vedio Pollione, a rich merchant, knight and politician. Pollione was close to Augustus, but the two had a falling out, according to a Dec. 12 Facebook post...

Imagine Pollione and the emperor Augustus having a flame war on social media

I like this, and a number of these you ppst, but cant reply indide this thread and expect.any semblance of topical discussion

However

I know, no one's interested. *heads to the Mope Corner, in tow*

this saddens me when I see it.

Well I'll pitch in ... a fabulous find!

I was hoping, I readily admit, it was a 'secret synagogue' after the Jews were expelled from Spain, but that was hoping too much.
