It is turning into a good week for archeology posts. Today’s news is about the discovery of a small royal tomb from the Mycenaean period. This is the first Mycenaean tomb every to be found on the island of Lefkada, and it is significant because Lefkada is one of the locations that is in the running for being the actual location of the island of Ithaca. Sadly the tomb was badly damaged when it was discovered by a workman driving a bulldozer, and it also looks like it was plundered centuries ago, but it may yet reveal secrets. Find the tomb of Odysseus would be major news.
