Straying away from PT Board to share something I found intriguing with my OT Brethren.

Found in Syria.

quote:

The stunning Roman-era artwork, constructed 1,600 years ago, is adorned with soldiers carrying swords and shields, along with their names, and images of fierce Amazons who fought alongside the people of Troy.


quote:

'What is in front of us is a discovery that is rare on a global scale,' Dr Saad told The Associated Press, adding that the images are 'rich in details', and includes scenes from the Trojan War between the Greeks and Trojans.

The Amazons were a race of female warriors in Greek mythology, who dwelt in the region of modern-day Ukraine.


Two of the best known Amazon queens were Penthesilea, who took part in the Trojan War, and her sister Hippolyta, who was the owner of a magical girdle, given to her by the god of war Ares.

In Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, demigod hero Hercules killed Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, in one of his 12 labors.

For some reason I always thought the Amazon's were from Africa.

I remember reading this a few years ago on some hidden knowledge tier website, was this ever confirmed or is it just a Greek fan fiction?

Amazon Region

Region was given that name after a Spanish explorer came into contact with a tribe of women in the region, Scruffy thinks.

That was long after the Amazon moniker was referenced in Greek mythology.
