Re: [Archport] "Arqueonautas Arqueologia Subaquatica Worldwide, a marine archeology group..."

Mais uma vez, o nome de Portugal volta a estar associado ao Terceiro
Mundo e às suas práticas mais reles, em que se delapida o património
da humanidade e se o leiloa a troco de um prato de lentilhas..

Mas também, pensando bem, não nos devemos indignar muito - afinal, já
tivemos uma ministra da Cultura que já pertenceu  ao Conselho
"Científico" desta empresa de caça ao tesouro.
