Greek island temple complex reveals ‘countless’ offerings left by ancient worshippers
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s Culture Ministry says archaeologists excavating a hilltop sanctuary on the Aegean Sea island of Kythnos have discovered “countless” pottery offerings left by ancient worshippers over the centuries. A ministry statement issued on Wednesday said the finds included more than 2,000 intact or almost complete clay figurines. They are mostly of women and children but also some of male actors, as well as of tortoises, lions, pigs and birds. Several ceremonial pottery vessels that also were unearthed are linked with the worship of Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture, and to her daughter Persephone. The ancient capital of Kythnos, Vryokastro, was inhabited between the 12th century B.C. and the 7th century A.D.

HONOLULU (AP) — Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island has begun erupting again.

In Kenya, lions are speared to death as human-wildlife conflict worsens amid drought
MBIRIKANI, Kenya (AP) — Parkeru Ntereka lost almost half of his goat herd to hungry lions that wandered into his pen located near Kenya’s iconic Amboseli national park. The 56-year-old’s loss made headlines in the east African country as it led to the spearing to death of six lions in retaliation by the Maasai people, who have co-existed with wild animals for centuries. The killings highlighted the growing human-wildlife conflict in parts of east Africa that conservationists say has been exacerbated by a yearslong drought. At the same time, the predator population within the parks has increased. Hunger and thirst can send them into communities.

Indonesia to deport Australian surfer jailed for drunken rampage in conservative province
MEULABOH, Indonesia (AP) — An Australia surfer who was jailed for attacking several people while drunk and naked in Indonesia’s deeply conservative Muslim province of Aceh will be deported to his country after he agreed to apologize and pay compensation. Bodhi Mani Risby-Jones was detained in late April on Simeulue Island, a surf resort in West Aceh regency, after police accused him of going on a drunken rampage that left a fisherman with serious injuries. An immigration official says Risby-Jones walked free on Tuesday after he went through a restorative justice process by offering to apologize for the attack and compensation to the fisherman’s family. He avoided going to court and face a possible charge of assault that could land him up to five years in prison.
