I'm probably the only Freeper who has a piece of ancient Libya on my bookshelf.

My family was stationed there in the late 1960s before Gaddhafi took power, and my mother used to go out to visit ruins with the Swiss Ambassador's wife, who told her to "bring a large purse."

Yup, Mom was an antiquities pilferer, and I've got a piece of Roman mosaic to prove it.

I did make it out to Sabratha and Leptis Magna; breathtaking to see the acres and acres of ruin and rubble.

I also was one of the few to climb down into an ancient Church that was being uncovered, and not widely publicized by the Muslims, as at that time, if it wasn't Arab, they weren't interested.
