Achaeological Artifacts Found in Machu Picchu Similar to Greek RelicsPosted on 25 July 2010 by Anny Tzotzadini

A group of Peruvian archaeologists from the National Institute of Culture have just unearthed newly found ceremonial offerings in the “cemetery” section of Machu Picchu, consisting of three conical jugs. These ceremonial offerings are from Incan times.

INC archaeologist Ruben Maqque said to El Comercio that the findings include three ceramics or miniature aryballos with globular body and covered with stone slabs forming a circle, known as “apachetas.”
The three aryballos found; a common pottery shape consisting of a long-necked pitcher with a conical base, traditionally called macka o puyñun that were used as ceremonial jars. The name of this style of ceramics Aryballos, comes from the Greeks that created similar pottery in the 9th century.

In general Inca pottery was simple and functional; they produced two kind of ceramics, the ceremonial style and the massive production ceramics. The creative expressions were limited to certain shapes and with very simple geometrical decorations consisting of stylized images of animals and day to day activities.

Greek Style Yogurt Similar to Greek Yogurt, 27 July 2010 by Assila Gharos

Yeo Valley Organic Greek Style Yogurt with Honey – a fantastic combination of indulgent thick creamy yogurt with added delicious sweet organic honey – is similar to Greek yogurt and honey, say leading yogurt experts. The revelation has Greeks and wannabe Greeks everywhere in a state of frenzy, seeing the words 'Greek' and 'style' together – and on a pot that isn't 2,500 years old!

The style of Yeo Valley Organic comes from the Greeks who have created similar creamy yogurts since a long time ago, probably BC rather than AD, when they actually used to do good stuff; instead of just scratch their arse like they do today.
