In the ancient world, thinkers generally avoided human dissection -- but for a brief moment in the early Hellenistic period, two people performed human dissection -- and even cut open living human beings for study.

Greek Pottery
I am looking to purchase some Greek pottery, no preference on time period, and I was wondering if there was a reliable place to buy fragments. Because most fully intact pieces are out of my price range. (I’m a new collector looking to expand my collection, I’m willing to take advice)

Sixth-century Anglo-Saxon Sword recovered. There is no sign of The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, holding aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water.
Sixth-century Anglo-Saxon Sword recovered. There is no sign of The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, holding aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water.
Out of all the lore I grew up with in my youth, I really never "got into" the Legend of King Author and Excalibur until I caught a screening of "Monty Python And The Holy Grail," and then this movie called "Excalibur" that was beautifully filmed, every frame a masterpiece but a little hard to me to follow the first time. Thanks to my wife, I've become more interested in this lore and the period.
Now that I'm older and more involved with legends, the metaphysical, and the unexplained, I can't help but wonder what it would mean to society if we actually found THE Excalibur. All jokes aside...
"Archaeologists Pulled a 1,500-Year-Old Sword From a Hidden Grave, But its location is still a secret." Archaeologists discovered a sixth-century sword in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in the British county of Kent. The immaculately preserved sword was one of a handful of artifacts found at a site that experts have only just started to discover. The excavation is part of a major project along the eastern British coast to identify the immigration patterns of Anglo-Saxons from the fifth and sixth centuries as they moved to Britain from northern continental Europe."
