Welcome to Archaeo-Scope. In this series we take an archaeological perspective on modern culture; asking questions about current trends and observations from around the world.

Note: Regarding the Ancient Greek artefacts, the one in the video is from Italy. I was not able to photograph the artefacts from Greece as I was ejected from the premises ;p
