A girl's name, mysteriously called 'Mummy', has been discovered in a large cryptoportico in a new dig at Pompeii, director Massimo Osanna told ANSA Monday. The discovery, just to the north of the Roman city, is part of a large and refined complex dating back to the time of the Emperor Augustus, he said.

The complex will be uncovered and eventually opened to visitors, Osanna said.

He also vowed to bring to light the recently discovered 'villa of the harnessed horse'.

Good grief. Sometimes I think a person could earn a PhD just by reading these threads.

[Sawdring]

I would love to go there sometime.

Ph.D. -- piled high and deep. ;^) But yeah, the reason the left wants to crush dissent and the free flow of information by "regulating" the web is, the same reason they do anything, to get the boot on all our necks.
