Elvis Was An Ancient Greek
If the ancient Greeks sold kitschy postcards to tourists 2,000 years ago, they would have depicted much different views of the popular sites that visitors flock to today.I'm betting it had leopard print carpeting too!

The Parthenon in Athens was once covered in colorful splashes of paint, for example.
