Archaeology uncovers graphic artifacts from over 2000 years ago, revealing insights about the ancient civilization of Athens. Scholars previously connected such pieces to Athenian life described in texts like Plato's works. However, it has been discovered that explicit Athenian artworks, including sexual imagery, were part of a lucrative pornographic export market to Italy and Etruria. This finding suggests that these artifacts provide more information about the Etruscan culture and their preferences in art. It highlights that archaeology is not just about objects but also about understanding cultural and consumption patterns. The large number of archaeological sites worldwide, such as the 171,000 in the Horn of Africa, emphasizes the vast scope and importance of archaeology in uncovering historical insights.
