FfFfFfFF 58,135 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 In the ancient city of Pompeii, archaeologists recently uncovered the hinges of a wooden box, long since rotted away. But the contents of the box were still there, preserved in the ash that showered Pompeii in 79 A.D. after nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted, creating an unprecedented time capsule of life 2,000 years ago. The treasure trove emerged from Regio V, an area of the city that has been under recent excavation. In total, archaeologists found around 100 little objects, including buttons made of bone, carved scarab beetles, miniature penises, crystals, tiny skulls and little dolls. It’s believed the objects may be part of a sorceress’ tool kit, used for fortune telling and to bring good luck. The box of small trinkets was likely used to perform fertility and love rituals and to look for omens about birth and pregnancy. The objects will soon be displayed at the Palestra Grande at the archaeological site.

I checked, and the discovery actually happened in 2019, not recently (my bad.. ). So they are probably already in a museum somewhere! I was browsing magazine's site yesterday and read the articles in ''the most popular today''.. I assumed all of them were recent but I guess not.. ╼ In other words, here are more pictures that I found: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
