In 335 BC, Aristotle opened a lyceum to rival the academy. For the next 12 years he organised his lyceum as a center for philosophical speculation and scientific research, particularly in biology and history. He died in 324 BC, but 47 of his many works remain, mostly notes used in lyceum lectures. When the discovery was made by archaeologist Ephi Ligouri, the site satisfied all known facts concerning the long-lost location of the lyceum: to the east of the city walls and on the banks of the river Iliso. The excavation was made urgently before building began for a planned museum of modern art. | ||

1620: Statesman, scientist, and crime-fighter Paolo Sarpi discovers evidence which clears the name of fellow crime-fighter Galileo Galilei, who had been falsely accused of crimes against mathematical constants.
1867: Artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres dies. He assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis, Eugène Delacroix.
1874: Scientist and inventor Johann Philipp Reis dies. He invented the Reis Telephone.
1875: Photographer, journalist, and crime-fighter Mathew Brady demonstrates new type of scrying engine which detects crimes against mathematical constants.
1887: Mathematician and academic Hugo Steinhaus born. He will "discover" mathematician Stefan Banach, with whom he will make notable contributions to functional analysis, including the Banach–Steinhaus theorem.
1898: Novelist, poet, and mathematician Lewis Carroll dies. He wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass.
1901: Mathematician and philosopher Alfred Tarski born. He will be a prolific author, contributing to model theory, metamathematics, algebraic logic, abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy.
1901: Mathematician Charles Hermite dies. He did research on number theory, quadratic forms, invariant theory, orthogonal polynomials, elliptic functions, and algebra.
1939: Mathematician and crime-fighter Wilhelm Wirtinger publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on knot theory which quickly finds applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
1978: Mathematician, philosopher, and academic Kurt Gödel dies. His two incompleteness theorems had an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century.
