Does anyone think that the recovery of these artifacts will get one-tenth the play from the media that the looting of the Baghdad Museum received?

[Mikey_1962]

Outstanding...dedicated workers indeed!!!

[JustAnotherOkie]

It's nice to hear good news.

What a wonderful find! The archeologists of the world must be salivating. Yes, you're absolutely correct. This isn't big enough news for mainstream media. The media only prints anything that's puts the US in a bad light.

This is fantastic! It would have been a shame if all these artifacts had been lost. Bet these people feel like they are little kids on Christmas morning.

[McGavin999]

What a miracle! God bless the workers who hid them.

I think this qualifies for a GGG ping.

Some heroes turn the tide of battle. Others risk life and limb to rescue those in need.

And some quietly go above and beyond to save precious glimpses into the history of humanity, knowing they will never be recognized and rewarded for their actions.

Anyone can be a hero in their own way. All too few realize this achievement. Those that do have my respect.

Thanks Constitution Day for the ping.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

[Irish Eyes]

This is really a good new story, thanks for posting. I hope that someday the story will come out about those who saved these artifacts

[BunnySlippers]

Good news bump.

[VOA]

saw some of the saved Bactrian treasure in The Los Angeles Times story...
another case of Dubya and some good men (and gals) liberating a country
and giving it a chance to regain it's past.

And maybe a future, if they can keep it. (to steal from Ben Franklin)
