PaganNewsBeagle Airy Monday Nov 17

Posted by Anne Newkirk Niven on Monday, 17 November 2014 in Pagan News Beagle

Today's Airy Monday focuses on news of antiquity and our modern attempts to understand the ways of our forebears, especially Pagan civilizations. Sounds from the Phaistos disk?; Greek mosaics in Turkey; who is the god on this Turkish stele?; breast cancer in an ancient princess; 300 year old witch bottle.

For more than a century, scientists have been puzzling over this mysterious 4000-year-old inscribed disk discovered on Crete. Now it’s been decoded. Well, three words have.

Wow: amazing mosaics recently discovered in Turkey bring Hellenistic civilization there to life.

Image of an unknown god discovered recently in Turkey is wonderfully preserved, and just part of a fascinating dig.

Modern tech meets ancient bones in this detailed report on the so-called "Siberian princess."

A 300 year old "witch bottle" uncovered in England was intended to repel evil sorcery.
