    Pericles' Funeral Oration! The site didn't look too dodgy. It was put up by the "Internet Ancient History Sourcebook". Not to mention, it's the same speech on all the other websites.

  • The king was found lying on his back, adorned with a green jadeite necklace bearing the carved head of a vulture, and ear spools inlaid with obsidian. A jadeite bead the size of a cherry was found in the king's mouth. The green stone was an ancient Maya metaphor for life and breath.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "The jadeite vulture pendant is particularly significant,"
  • "The bird is the quintessential sign of kingship in the ancient Maya world. We also believe that this is a royal tomb from the sheer complexity of the burial ritual."
  • Unlike most royal burials, however, the La Milpa tomb was not built within a pyramid, but dug into the site's main plaza. Because of its location the tomb escaped the notice of looters who ravaged the site in the 1970s

    This is the Campaigns of Alexander, by Arrian, an ancient source on Alexander, but a secondary source because he was a Greek who lived during Roman times.
