The Palace of Ajax?

That’s what, according to the AP, an archaeologist excavating on the island of Salamis believes he has located.

Someone found the palace of one of the heroes of Troy? That’s pretty bizarre. And even better, one of the artifacts that was located was a piece of copper armor with the name of Rameses II stamped on it. Rameses ruled Egypt 3,200 years ago and is the Pharoah that Cecil B. DeMille presents as the pharoah of the Exodus! Can you imagine that Rameses himself may have given this object to someone or it came to Salamis in trade from ancient Egypt? Boy, if only it could talk.

Sigh, I wonder if it’s possible to develop a temporal viewing machine?
