"I read your article in the «Agelioforos.gr» about Amphipolis and tumulus Kasta. I agree with all that you've written and really sorry that the State does not give importance in space, as an archaeologist and philhellene who I am I can not figure it out.
"Last year I was invited from various Argentine universities to speak about the tumulus, because they made a great impression the finding, and because no archaeologists in my specialty in Argentina, I did a lot of presentations showing the discoveries and developments of the excavation from the k. Peristeri. You can see well that and up to distant countries reached new.
"There is a lot of interest worldwide and it is incomprehensible how do not exploit it at least from the economic side in times of crisis.

For’ This and the ancient Amphipolis, with its monuments sparked global interest, multiple can offer in today's Greece and Hellenism.
