The gold coins shown in the article are in excellent shape.
I wonder how much they are worth...

"Is anyone here a marine biologist?"
Yes, but marine biology is a very diverse field. My dissertation concerned the temperature limits of a marine grass and what the upper limit did to the plant physiology.

My degree was in plant psychology, but even if they keep the appointment, it’s difficult to get them to open up.

usually when a city is destroyed by war or natural causes like flood or earthquakes, another version is rebuilt on top of the ruins, often using salvage from the previous construction.

I find it very curious that nothing was rebuilt on the site and yet the foundations of stone buildings are being uncovered. Looking at the model in the museum I would think someone would come up with a theory about the abandonment of this sturdy ancient city.
