Ancient Cyprus Shrine of Aphrodite Found at Rantidi
Archaeologists led by Dr. Max O. Richter report the discovery at Rantidi in Cyprus of a shrine to Aphrodite dating back at least seven centuries before Christ. The find emerged after a shepherd uncovered two inscribed stones, with later work listing ten or more inscribed stones as transport by mule to Limagsos. The report traces Cypriot worship origins, Kitchener’s mapping, and early European excavations.
