Of corse it would be of crucial importance, that an expert should take a = look on this piece. Let's send special agent Farmer there (on the way to Cyprus he could = take a stop to drink a hot chocolate at Matteo's). I always asked myself, why nobody prooved that stone yet. Where are the = Met.Soc. members?=20 It doesn't matter that the chance, that it could be meteoritic is small, = no reason for wearing the nose high, it's a cultural MUST !! Here you'll find an detailled article about the history of the sanctuary = of Paphos: http://www.pio.gov.cy/cyprus_today/jul_dec97/aphrodite_sanctuary.htm A picture of the archeological site: http://www.flycyprus.com/palepaphos.html And finally the BLACK STONE, gosh, I was searching so hard for pictures and couldn't find not a = single one, but Pib Burns did so!
