Chris Hodapp noted this article today. I was struck by the following two paragraphs:
"Berenike was a very cosmopolitan place where people—men, women and children, many of whose names and ethnic and social statuses we have discovered—lived, worked and perished," Sidebotham writes in his latest report summarizing work at the site this January and February."It was a cultural melting pot where the common interest was making a great deal of money from the lucrative trade…that passed both ways through the emporium."
Then they voted the Democrats in. And look at the place, now.
