This was built almost 4,000 years ago..

Archaeologists just found an ancient site that was partially destroyed by a fire.  We often hear about Greek mythology with books like The Odyssey or in discussions of constellations.  However we often forget how many cool artifacts are in the region here and now:

Archaeologists working at the site of Agios Vasileios in the valley of Sparta, southern Peloponnese, have discovered the ruins of an ancient palace of the Mycenaean period and a number of artifacts, including Linear B clay tablets, swords, and other luxury items.

Let’s check out a pic of one of the artifacts and watch a video from the region on page 2
