History never ceases to amaze us and there is much out there that is still unknown. There were several generations that lived before us and many are yet to come into existence. So, when archaeologists and other experts discover something new about the old, it’s always a fascinating journey of understanding what really went down there. In 2000, French archaeologist and head of the European Institute of Maritime Archaeology, Franck Goddio, led a team that successfully located the ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion, which was Egypt’s only port on the Mediterranean coast about 2,500 years ago.

It’s not “strictly business,” it’s personal.

A city in Sicily is trying to rescind its connections to organized crime by banning the sale of souvenirs relevant to the mafia. 

The mayor of Agrigento gave the Sicilian message that street vendors and gift shop tchotchkes — very similar to mob-related paraphernalia sold in tourist traps around NYC — “humiliates the local community.”

Specifically, the hit inadvertently applies to anything related to “The Godfather.” The 1972 Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece was famously filmed on the Italian island known as the birthplace of La Cosa Nostra centuries ago.

‘Kaos,’ the Netflix dark comedy show about the gods of Olympus, spans across a multitude of exotic locations that tie the mythological story with its modern setting. As such, The Cave, a club in the middle of nowhere, plays an integral role in the narrative as it hosts the sisters of Fate, who pass judgment on those seeking entrance into the Underworld. The club is a recurring setting in the show, often visited by mortals and gods who wish to know their fortunes from the Fates themselves. Its whimsical and absurd interiors seem divorced from reality, yet they play an essential role in the grander stories in the works, which are happening beyond the wits of the mortals and the gods who avail the facilities of The Cave.
