I'm right there with you. This could 100% have happened to me and my wife. Still could. How are you supposed to go on with your day knowing that?

It is very funny though to imagine what Pahlavi Jr is doing right now. Do you think he keeps flipping over his phone to see if he missed a call.

Come to think of it, they went after the Greeks in that hearing too!

The combat agate is also there and of course it is the official star of the show. It is indeed a wonder. But there's no way to take good photographs of that!

Most extraordinary of all to me (but tucked in a corner you could easily miss!) was a set of tablets, including the Tripod Tablet that proved Ventris' analysis of Linear B as Greek!

Brings to mind Auden's "Fall of Rome":

"Caesar's double-bed is warm
As an unimportant clerk
Writes I DO NOT LIKE MY WORK
On a pink official form."

This is brilliant! I have thought for a long time that people are sleeping on LLMs as a tool for language learning. But the text adventure idea is so good.
