Arrr, matey! A grand ol' marble gem, more ancient than Davy Jones’ locker, be fished from a rubbish sack by Thessaloniki! Experts be sayin’ it hails from the days o' the Hellenistic scallywags. Aye, who’d thought treasure could be found in the muck, eh?
Arrr mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale most peculiar! A fine marble lass, headless and ancient, was found sittin' atop a pile o' rubbish near the fair Greek city of Thessaloniki, aye! This statue be older than a barnacle-encrusted ship, estimatin' over 2,000 years from the Hellenistic days when Alexander the Great was a-sailin’ the seas of conquest!Some unsuspectin' landlubber stumbled upon this 31-inch beauty next to a trash bin, thinkin' it fit fer the refuse, but nay! He bequeathed it to the local authorities, who called upon learned archaeologists to appraise the treasure. Why, it be a wonder how such a gem ended up among the refuse, as if Neptune himself had cast it aside!
The authorities be investigatin' the foul perpetrator who discarded the fine statue, but alas, they only managed to question a bloke before sendin' him on his merry way. Yarr, Greece be a treasure trove of accidental finds; just the other day, workers unearthed a statue of Hermes whilst layin' down pipes! So, keep yer eyes peeled, ye scallywags—there be wonders aplenty buried beneath the waves and the soil!
