OK, I'll take the bait.
This is my neck of the woods. And that in the pic is the holy grail over here. It is also the cultural heritage of this country and does belong in a museum. It would be nice to stumble on one by accident ,turn it in and get the finders fee though.

And its good to see that this wreath was made public, so we know its going to be in one of the museums. Its not always the case with artifacts like this. They somehow find their way into the private collectors market.
All the southeast Mediterranean area is like this one meter under the ground. There is just so much history here. The Greek kings,the Romans, the Byzantine kings, Ottoman rule. We're talking thousands of years of lost and buried history. It is truly amazing.

Neat, kinda bothers me that they are building a subway in the middle of all those graves....
