“The Lady of Elche” Limestone Statue from Elche, Spain dated between the Late 5th and Early 4th Centuries BCE on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid

This sculpture represents a high-born, richly garbed and bejewelled. It was originally poly chromed and the eyes were filled with vitreous (glass like) paste. There numerous theories as to its origin but it is commonly thought to be a commission for a Iberian by a Greek or Greek trained sculptor.

It shares similarities to other Iberian sculptures like the Great Lady Offeran of Cerro de los Santos. The lady’s identity is a mystery and is often interpreted as being as a portrait of an Iberian aristocrat who was deified by her descendants.

This clearly another example of proof of ancient astronauts visiting our world long ago. She wears a helmet with powerful sound detectors, radio receivers, force field face shield projectors. Evidence hiding in plain sight.

Plan to retrieve Titanic radio spurs debate on human remains

People have been diving to the Titanic’s wreck for 35 years. No one has found human remains, according to the company that owns the salvage rights.

But the company’s plan to retrieve the ship’s iconic radio equipment has sparked a debate: Could the world’s most famous shipwreck still hold remains of passengers and crew who died a century ago?

Lawyers for the U.S. government have raised that question in an ongoing court battle to block the planned expedition. They cite archaeologists who say remains could still be there. And they say the company fails to consider the prospect in its dive plan.

“Fifteen hundred people died in that wreck,” said Paul Johnston, curator of maritime history at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. “You can’t possibly tell me that some human remains aren’t buried deep somewhere where there are no currents.” Read more.

YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER (1942) dir. William A. Seiter

[obvioussuggestion]

Compliment people. If you think a good thing about someone, there’s no harm in saying it aloud.

[olddognewtriks]

Does "book ferret" live under a rock? You can't compliment people today. If you say anything complimentary or nice they think you are flirting with them. Political correctness, people's unpredictability and all the new rules of communication demand I keep my comments and opinions to myself. Free speech is dead. So is niceness. I could spend months in a Human Rights Tribunal fighting harassment allegations just for saying "I like your hair today." No, it can do a lot of harm saying it aloud.
