I recently opened an etsy shop full of vintage books and storage items.

Some items include:

A set of four F. Scott Fitzgerald novels. Publication dates range from 1948-1969

Roman-era statues of Aphrodite and Dionysus unearthed in Turkey

According to Greek mythology, the deities Aphrodite and Dionysus had a grand love affair. So, perhaps it’s fitting that archaeologists found the ancient statuary heads of the goddess of love and the drunk reveler near each other during a dig in the ancient city of Aizanoi, in western Turkey.

The discovery of the deities’ heads helps top off a previous find; on an earlier dig, archaeologists found the statues’ headless bodies, Gokhan Coskun, an archaeologist at Kütahya Dumlupınar University in Turkey and the excavation coordinator, told Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state-run news organization.

“These are important findings for us, as they show that the polytheistic culture of ancient Greece existed for a long time without losing its importance in the Roman era,” Coskun said. “The findings suggest that there may have been a sculpture workshop in the region.” Read more.

Hello Neil, have you seen the news about an amateur submarine that sank in the Atlantic Ocean and now there are people there without much hope of salvation. Do you think they will be saved? I feel sorry for these people, I hope everything will be fine

I have indeed seen that news. Did you know that last week a ship with about 750 migrants on it sank off the coast of Greece? 82 bodies were recovered, about a hundred people were saved, another 500 people are unaccounted for and probably drowned. The vessel may have capsized due to the Greek Coast Guard trying to tow it. Most of the people on the ship were from Pakistan, trying to get to Italy.
