Founded around 8th century BC, well before the foundation of Alexandria in 331 BC, it is believed Heracleion served as the obligatory port of entry to Egypt for all ships coming from the Greek world.</span></p> <p>Prior to its discovery in 2000 by archaeologist <a href="http://www.franckgoddio.org/" target="_blank">Franck Goddio</a> and the <a href="http://www.ieasm.org/sites.php?lang=fr&area=egypte&site=heracleion&part=1/3" target="_blank">IEASM</a> (<a href="http://www.ieasm.org/sites.php?lang=fr&area=egypte&site=heracleion&part=1/3" target="_blank">European Institute for Underwater Archaeology</a>), no trace of Thonis-Heracleion had been found (the city was known to the Greeks as <em>Thonis</em>). Its name was almost razed from the memory of mankind, only preserved in ancient classic texts and rare inscriptions found on land by archaeologists.</p> <p><strong><em>(<a href="http://twistedsifter.com/2013/06/lost-egyptian-city-heracleion-found-underwater-after-1200-years/" target="_blank">Continue Reading</a>)</em></strong></p> </blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088916053http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088916053Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:02:58 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melk7ggPvW1rhnc4ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088914393http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088914393Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:02:56 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0c547248d9b11b534ceb08d4651bd05a/tumblr_mo8o6lnHeS1qbya53o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088913015http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088913015Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:02:53 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ebd0f59d3cf539c9bcc3ed568b890526/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0013e260b264e680159148c76eccceb8/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a020eaecaeca64d8fe6767d041aa0de9/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/da55de7e8076f6bedaf1cac665f6b462/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/38a8cb302710645bdf11da4be63cebfa/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/76ae0c78680e8db7537699dac73881fd/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o8_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/57c01c2f320bf116c0be077f6e382f23/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o9_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/526e3d69331f1107655b7f3db4514be9/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f34de71ae267e4c7fee92a347e65fe35/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/57f1e6cd3416743bd07b0cc0ddc8af65/tumblr_mmkzjiQFxF1qc8jh0o10_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088883327http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088883327Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:02:06 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/18e3291d871df6a66c2f0f98712109d6/tumblr_mntdlef2YG1qd2qteo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088875784http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088875784Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:53 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e19d397bd39a6bf3c5ccb7beadf2f3ca/tumblr_mnq124ycCm1rqyo1eo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/585e90ce8167d8394364a6e9b22c3dd1/tumblr_mnq124ycCm1rqyo1eo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://paris2london.tumblr.com/post/52944894572" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">paris2london</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wildography.tumblr.com/post/51887901852/cute-little-french-bulldog-3-photographer" target="_blank">wildography</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Cute Little French Bulldog! :3</p> <p>(Photographer Unknown)</p> </blockquote> <p><3</p></blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088873026http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088873026Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:48 -0700“And that’s how you know it’s over.

The mental hospital had an average stay of nearly 30 years. When patients died, they were buried in nameless graves across the street of the asylum. Their suitcases, with all their worldly possessions, were locked in an attic and forgotten.<br/> In 1995, an employee of the mental hospital discovered the suitcases, 400 of them. They date from 1910 to 1960. <br/> Now, photographer Jon Crispin is cataloging each suitcase and opening a window into the lives - and the minds - of the people deemed too unwell to be allowed in society.</p> </blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088852837http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088852837Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:20 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/50ab3c4f7ac0f3fe816111a15fb5264d/tumblr_moc3c5XUpQ1qb5t88o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e6078b70eb9032a3ae3b5b17834da432/tumblr_moc3c5XUpQ1qb5t88o2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://hellanne.tumblr.com/post/52874870321" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">hellanne</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>(via <a href="http://sayforward.com/ext/images/its-just-sparkle" target="_blank">It’s just a sparkle</a>)</p></blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088849644http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088849644Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:16 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/84d5162cb9af4a49f9c096a76da7449a/tumblr_mo2kffmiVq1qcpacio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088848027http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088848027Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:14 -0700“Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.”<br/><br/> - <em>Matt Chandler (via <a href="http://bows0verbros.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">bows0verbros</a>)</em>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088845930http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088845930Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:11 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/685ef55c438c37ef408401b3b698e364/tumblr_mnrp1f70t41qkp0j6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088844455http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088844455Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:09 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/865fab80a241d2260d40d618f1e810f7/tumblr_mocjgm5KdF1qafunwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://vikingposts.tumblr.com/post/52886752344/still-in-berlin-at-the-studio-vladimir-karaleev" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">vikingposts</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.stilinberlin.de/2012/01/at-studio-vladimir-karaleev.html" target="_blank">Still in Berlin: At the studio -Vladimir Karaleev </a></p></blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088842898http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088842898Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:01:06 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc8d34f056c04784dc5fb05ed94f7c3e/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b079d15af51f9b3bf1767f7022105aa2/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/87fbdaf1b928648dba276a6a6566b964/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b330fb8f015b799eaa698a5c96fb673d/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/de4c08f5dafc4ef9e4a93eb5c4a99278/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a4b5fa9ad2d640c81b1623e14ac5ae85/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e603bc81631c9363fa16f4c78eff3ff2/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/98985b6c6b6b399bf43d244a718c9e31/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e277f045a174cc7e4da55a888bb1cf57/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/85e28456a0f1eefa3a45c3f78e820e29/tumblr_moau1yPY9i1rpescpo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088837251http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088837251Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:00:58 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3411f280fc9931510d11234933d2a949/tumblr_mndj8dUJrq1spfmo7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://spencerlewis.tumblr.com/post/52383059312/im-old-fashioned" target="_blank">spencerlewis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I’m Old Fashioned.</p> </blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088835950http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088835950Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:00:57 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_meirebKya21rsbqe6o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_meirebKya21rsbqe6o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088833681http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088833681Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:00:54 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b2ed73f1a8b8774afe3c5bb0490d0ee/tumblr_moctbnOoBv1s2ktcqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://wildbeards.tumblr.com/post/52903477148/hahaha" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">wildbeards</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>hahaha</p></blockquote>http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088832396http://thepaperartist.tumblr.com/post/53088832396Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:00:52 -0700
