Off the shores of Alexandria, the city of Alexander the Great, lies what is believed to be the ruins of the royal quarters of Cleopatra. A team of marine archaeologists led by Frenchman Franck Goddio made excavation on this ancient city from where Cleopatra, the last queen of the Ptolemies, ruled Egypt. Historians believe this site was submerged by earthquakes and tidal waves more than 1,600 years ago.
The excavations concentrated on the submerged island of Antirhodus. Cleopatra is said to have had a palace there. Other discoveries include a well-preserved shipwreck and red granite columns with Greek inscriptions. There were also founded two statues which were lifted out of the harbor. One was a priest of the goddess Isis; the other a sphinx whose face is said to represent Cleopatra’s father, King Ptolemy XII. The artifacts were returned to their silent, because the Egyptian Government says it wants to leave most of them in place to create an underwater museum

This is absolutely true. Unless you have no disposable income at all, I think most people would pay for the TV shows and movies they love — particularly fannish audiences who would treat payment as a kind of “vote” to keep the show on air. If Game of Thrones, Elementary, sci-fi shows like Agents of SHIELD, etc were available for legal streaming/download and didn’t have differing international release dates, piracy levels would plummet.
N.B. Season 3 Teen Wolf will be available internationally on iTunes, right…??
