Whilst excavating an ancient city in southwest Cyprus, a team of archeologists unearthed a rather intriguing object - an amulet inscribed with a 59-letter palindrome written in Greek. Palindromes are sequences of characters, such as words or numbers, which read the same backward or forward. “Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog,” is an example of a palindrome.
