Amasis
Ancient Greek potter (6 century BC)
Amasis was an ancient Attic potter, active in Athens between 560/550 and 530/520 BC. Amasis’s pottery workshop also employed a well-known painter, who is conventionally named the Amasis Painter after the potter, and generally considered one of the best Archaic vase painters.
Amasis is read about 3 times a day, in 12 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
