As soon as the archeologists dig it up and display it, the Islamists will come along and destroy everything they can!

The site of Zita contains remains of a Roman forum and a Punic child sacrifice precinct.

They're excavating the equivalent of the Zita Mall and Planned Parenthood clinic.

Interesting wardrobe for the archeologists (grad student?) in the foreground. I wonder if the purple headscarf is intended as a concession to Islamic modesty. If so, not working. :-)

If only it was spelled Zeta instead of Zita, it would give someone an excuse to post a photo of Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Maybe the Phoenicians were bad spellers. After all, they only wrote the consonants so there could be an error.
