Thebes was once a major Greek city, but it was sacked one too many times, and is now just a little town. Thebes has a museum with lots of artifacts that have been dug up from the ruins.
Best pictures from the museum
A censer or bowl. The workmanship in the decorations is amazing.

A cylinder seal, the original .sig file. It was rolled in wax or clay
to sign a message. The characters are in Linear A, which has so far resisted
translation.

More amazing workmanship, this time in gold. The pieces were probably
cast, but somebody still had to make the orginals to make the mold from.
