		However modern archaeological research has revealed some tenuous evidence that seem to indicate that Furrina was both associated with the water and, perhaps, with the Furies.

		For example Furrina, a yearly festival on 25 July was held in her honor.
		This is an ancient example of a post modern art happening and Furrina's rites need to be renewed in the 21st century, perhaps the center of Wall Street would be a good place to renew them.
