2,200-year-old mural featuring naked servant discovered in Italian tomb

***

A newly discovered 2,200-year-old tomb in the ancient necropolis of Cumae features figurative paintings in superb condition. The sheer quality and colorfulness of the pictures, not to mention their subject matter, indicates that the people buried within had belonged to the elite.

One picture shows a naked servant bearing a jug of wine and a vase. Archaeologists think the other walls show guests at a banquet, not least because other elements of the festive meal can also be distinguished.

About 400 tombs have been excavated in the Cumae necropolis so far - 80 of them funeral monuments. "For this chronological phase, most of the tombs were painted white and red," Priscilla Munzi, CNRS researcher at the Jean Bérard Center, told Haaretz.

Ancient Mural is a large decorative object found just inside the enterance to Ancient Vaults. It's one of six pieces, which when fit together reveal an ancient message. Only one of the six pieces is displayed in each vault.

“We advanced as we were designed. We reached the Great Kind One.

It warned us of the Final Plague, the threat to all that thrive.

The Great One had a plan, a Door of Keys for the Chosen.

But we were Builders, not Heroes. In the event that the plan failed,

we carved the Infinite Sanctuary, to salvage what little life we could.

We are destined to not remain, as is the Great One.

Its legacy will be its remnants, and ours shall be our temples.”

(I touched up on the on the translation a bit)

“We advanced as we were designed.”

does that sound like the purpose of the glitch or what?
