The island near where this was found sounds like a good place to go if you want some peace and quiet. It's half-way between Cythera and Crete, is about 8 square miles in area and has a population of 44 people.

Cythera, about 20 miles to the north, was associated with the goddess Aphrodite--which inspired Watteau's painting Embarcation for Cythera.

They should do a Cat scan, isolate the metal parts and transfer the 3D image to a 3D printer. Then print out an exact duplicate. This is what paleontologists are doing with dinosaur fossils embedded in rock.
