Archaeologists in Crete have discovered an intact Minoan-era tomb containing a well-preserved adult skeleton along with funerary vessels.
An initial inspection of the ceramics found in the tomb allowed it to be dated to the late Minoan period, or 1400 to 1200 BC, a statement from the Ministry of Culture noted.
The tomb was discovered during an emergency excavation in an olive grove outside the village of Kentri, in the eastern prefecture of Ierapetra, the statement continued.
A local resident had alerted the local archaeology ephorate to the possible existence of a tomb at the site.
According to DailyMail, the late Minoan grave -- which was inadvertently discovered by a local resident via a vertical channel -- was in an underground cavern sealed with clay and contained an adult's well-preserved skeleton.
The burial was found eight feet (2.5 metres) below the ground and contained funerary possessions such as a cup, a wine-mixing vessel and fifteen amphorae containers.

Nobody can define Common Era.
Because it is a nonsensical, meaningless term.
Hint, the loops on that chest aren’t there to lift it.
They are there so the lid can be sealed to keep someone
IN.
No, CE is Common Era; BCE Before Common Era
It looks like they could be used either way.
Yoghurt had nothing to do with it.I’m still looking for the bare-breasted goddess I met ‘back in the day’ who danced for me suspended from a silver chain. Her name was Nettiska.
Was that in the 1980s? I had some weird experiences in the 80s, too ... packs of drunken Dwarves and so forth.
No drunken dwarves, just experiments with ‘altered states of consciousness...’ shallow breathing, harp music, no drugs. I swear it was ‘being there’ - and yes, 1980 was the year.
Fascinating.
Forgot to mention. I met her on the island of Crete, in the palace of Knossos, when the palace was still intact. I didn’t know in 1980 where Knossos was, not until I saw a National Geographic at the dentist.
The mind is a strange thing...
That's absolutely true.
I bet the story behind that is more than interesting!
Ah, Nettiska... she started an online movie channel...
And yet, people still wonder why the Minoans disappeared. "Really nice palatial civilization you have here, sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it..."
If you have to ask...
Actually, i have no idea.
Olive oil slick?

Yes, but yours is laser accurate, even across time.. Over the years I have come to recognize that fact.Not so strange, but expansive.
Must get myself checked for an implant...

Oh my, you have been augmented !
( I doubt it, but what do I know, I should check for one of my own, LOL).
I did have a number of mild electric shocks over the years, I always felt ‘charged’ afterwards. Must remember to stick a fork in the toaster from time to time...

Is it an apple or a banana? Either way we get what you are saying. Might be better off converting others on say Twitter.
...cause you are preaching to the choir here.
