>>> The warrior in the inscription, he added, could be Paris who caused the Trojan War.

Interesting discovery but I despise that kind of puffery by scientists and historians who know better. Unless they are holding something back, they have no evidence whatsoever as to the actual identity. But to take a scene that would be common to most any Greek warrior of the period (making his farewells as he leaves for war) and pretending that is a sound basis to say it is Paris is dishonest.

I do wonder what the inscription said, or even if it were readable, or in an undeciphered text.
