Why were so many sites found underground? Just structures buried with the passage of time and dirt? Stupid question but yea

I mean a sewer would be the correct place to put Confederate statues, so they can receive the correct amount of honor. The Bible mentions using a statue as a latrine too. But this statue was found on an ancient road. Not in the sewer but while they were repairing the sewer.

Same thing is happening with the subway in Thessaloniki (second biggest city in Greece)

When the Visigoths invade your city to plunder your gold and take your family into slavery, a 400 kilogram marble statue may not be on your list of priorities.

He was left behind, like Kevin Sorbo

The fact that this stuff happens is mind boggling.

Meanwhile in Finland rock was too hard and planners didn't know how to plan. If only we could have unearthed historical treasures, that would have been actually interesting.

I'm betting that it is the real Hercules and he saw Medusa down there....

It's actually Herculad, a clone of Hercules.

How can they say 'It's Heracles because he had a club and a pelt'. I mean I don't know that much about greek myths but off the bat Orion also had a club and is depicted with a pelt. Is there something else or...

Seeing as I was downvoted for pointing this out elsewhere would like to know how it apparently evident.

Mexico City is another good example.

I was disappointed when I visited Knossos because it turns out, all of that art (wall murals, bright red pillars) are artistic creations by Arthur Evans. That dude destroyed so much by covering it in cement.

Do we know it's meant to be Hercules and not one one of Commodus?

> Now who would throw away a statue in the sewer?

Pagan (demi) gods are no longer fashionable, look a convenient sewer hole to dump the statue in....
