    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,"

    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.
