The mystery of the skeleton of Amphipolis

Brilliant piece in the history of Greece considered the Monument in Amphipolis, having won the interest of the international scientific community.
Photographs of the skeleton, that gave the team of archaeologists, is the newest element that came to light, at a time when the world's archaeological community continues the scenarios and considerations about whether the deceased is a wealthy Macedonian, a glorious strategist, one relative of Alexander or even himself stratilatis.
With the mystery of the skeleton that may reveal many deals this week Antonis Sroiter through the broadcast of the "Autopsy". The emission of ALPHA camera speaks Manolis Papagrigorakis, Professor of orthodontics, who headed the team that had the face of Myrtidas reconstruct, the young Athenian who "lost" before 2.500 years in the great plague of Athens and the skeleton, found in the Tuileries. "From the skull has been found we can learn a lot," says the journalist, While it stresses that "If a tooth has decay can be seen feeding and from there with what fed. Will show us and information era, If you put wood or metal residues, If you find a fruit, These are all elements which define the environment. The skull can give us information if it was male or female. It depends, of course, from an early age. It is of course too difficult to determine from a skull, because the age emerges indirectly. If DNA analysis we will find exactly».

Scientists place great importance on the teeth that can be present in the skull. "It is a matter of weeks to see if there is a relationship of the skeleton with Philip», stresses with meaning to Anthony Sroiter Chris Giapitzakis, Geneticist – Assistant Professor Neyrogenetikis, While noting that "depends on the quality of the ancient DNA and DNA polymorphisms by how many we'll see, to compare if there is a family relationship or not. We can learn whether father or son. We could learn if there is affinity paternal origin, If it is uncle to nephew. There is a y chromosome that is inherited from father to son. Is the so-called male inheritance. It would seem because half the genes of Alexander would be Philip. I was pleasantly, but the unlikely event! If you are female you will not see affinity. If it was though, woman, congenital with Philip, I was looking at some parent type inheritance genes in mitochondrial DNA that we inherit from our mother. All Europeans come from 7 women and 10 men. So in some of these families would be. You could say that resembles the modern inhabitants of the Peloponnese or of Crete».

Tonight, at 23:45, Antonis Sroiter through the frequency of ALPHA makes "Autoplay" the findings of the excavations of Amphipolis trying to shed light on the mystery of "inhabitant" of the Tomb.

COULD BE THE KING OF THRAKON OF PAGGAIOU, RISOS, THE DECEASED'S TYMBOY AFIRWISMENOS TIS AMFIPOLIS;

In the sheet 30/9/2014 Kavala ChRONOMETRO newspaper, as well as in electronic version, in the context of the publication of a series of my articles titled "GODS, IMITHEOI AND BASILIADES IN THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE AREA MOUNT PAGGAIO PERI ", I referred extensively to the mythical King of the Thracian pangeo, the Riso, saying, already in the prologue of my articles, I quote the following: "Most very impressed with the fact that the monument every day it reveals archaeologists did not known until today form of the Macedonian tombs, but it seems like n ' copies some devotional cave pangeo, like the one in which Euripides placed the mythical King of the Thracian pangeo, the Riso, in the eponymous tragedy........... My reflections, well, does under the great tumulus of Amphipolis, with the Sphinxes that foretell the coming events, Apart from the grave of a epifanestatoy man, hiding and some Premier, spilaiiki worship, leads me to wade in ancient these myths and legends of Paggaio.... "

And although the Riso for referring to what in my related article I wrote, which you can see in the following link: http://www.xronometro.com/risos-paggaio/

The Occasion, though, to return to the ancient hero of Pageos, This new publication, It was the fact that, shortly after the publication of my article above for Riso, in the majestic tomb of the Hill "Kasta" of Amphipolis found, beneath the floor of the third Chamber, a tomb with the disturbed bones of a dead, to which, According to an announcement of the Ministry of culture, assigned hero cults. Who, though, could be the afirwismenos dead, the hero worshiped beneath the majestic monument which revealed the archaeological hoe;

In principle, I do not intend (and I can't) n ' go against the special scientists excavate the Tomb, getting, though, given the above as an announcement of the Ministry of culture, accepting, i.e., I do that in the majestic tomb of Amphipolis hero values ascribed to some dead, (even if he's not found buried beneath the third Chamber), dare, based on my knowledge of scarce, (knowledge of a simple filistoros), Add me too a case, in many cases they see everyday light, trying, though, to substantiate my case this becomes more effective.

As I mentioned in my article for the Riso, When the Athenians wanted to put their foot in rich, metalloforo area of Paggaio and decided, the 437 e.g., to send a group of settlers in the city of Nine streets of Struma, with settler in Agnwna, had to legalize their presence there. So, during the 3rd year of the 85th Olympiados...;. Let's leave, though, the Polyaino, in the 6th book of his ' Stratigimatwn ', to narrate the continuity:

 

 

XRISMOS

XRISMOS 1

Your quote above, in free translation:

"The Agnwn began to establish new York colony, wanting to colonize the so-called Nine Streets, on the Struma ' Existed but the following Oracle to the Athenians:

You're nothing willing, sons of the Athenians, to forcibly build in polypodaro place; It will be difficult for you, without the will of the gods. Why is not meant (to accomplish), before you find and bring by Troy the relic of Risos and hide it with brilliance in paternal of Earth. Only then could you to obtain glory. After God gave him the Oracle, General Agnwn sent men in Troy, that night they opened the tomb of Risos and took the bones. And after they placed the bones in a red mantle, bring on the Struma. But the barbarians who occupied the place that, the hold back to cross the river. Then the Agnwn concluded three days of libations with the barbarians and thus the night passed away and after the Struma, along with his characteristically, the hand bones of the Risos buried beside the river, Since it destroyed the ditch, built wall beneath the Moon. The day did not work and the entire project was executed in three nights. Once the barbarians, After three days, they came and saw the wall, reproaching the Agnonas, that violated the libations. He, though, He said that he did nothing wrong, because the libations spoke for three days, not for three nights. In this way the apoikise nine Agnwn Streets and the city named Amphipolis».

Next, well, the river Struma, well the Agnwn buried the remains of the ancient King of the Thracian, the Risos, According to the Polyaino, While the historian Marsyas of Philippi, at Macedonian stories, It is even clearer, After stating that the colonists buried the remains of his son Struma, the Risos, on top of a hill, They rained the Struma, While just across the street from the monument erected for the hero, built an altar, He dedicated to his mother, the Muse Clio. («Church of Clio in Ochi Amfipolei, the Risos founded across the monument, on the Hill, thereby».

Odysseus and Diomedes steal his horses Risos

So the cult of the ancient King of the Thracian pangeo, the Risos, that existed since centuries among the Thracians, was one of the official cults of the new city. The irwopoiimenos, ancient King continued to be worshipped in Amphipolis and after its foundation, as I continued to be worshipped by all the Thracians, and not only of them inhabiting around the Pangeo. We Know, Indeed, that even up to the 3rd century a.d.. the Rhesus worshipped by the Thracian tribe of Bisswn Rhodope Mountains like God, with most known qualities of the Hunter and of the therapist, which is strongly reminiscent of another God of Thracian people of all ancient Thrace, the Main hero or Ember Knight, also God the healer and Hunter and for "what many authors consider that under the two names is the same great goddess of Thracian, the highly revered in "them, This Sabazioy Dionysus or Bacchus, whose relations with our hero confirms the epilogue of "RISOS" tragedy of Euripides, According to which, Rhesus o, genomenos anthrwpodaimwn of Dionysian procession, IE genomenos from man demigod, will forever be Prophet of Bacchus, hidden in the caves of the Earth of Paggaio hides silver, where, not only will the introduction of coming events, but will send himself the divine guidance to the prophets of the, for whom will be revered God. (Lyrics 967 subs. «..th γάρ s tayton pote, t ' opsetai demas eisin nor mother, kryptos d ' ypargyroy in antrois of chthonos, keisetai Gazer faos anthrwpodaimwn, Bacchus Prophet so Paggaio toisin eidosin wkise modest rock God»).

Believing, well, that the Hill "Kasta", where excavated the great, funerary tumulus, that the Kingdom of the Struma, until the 1960s drainage works 1930, fits perfectly in the descriptions of the ancient historians who quoted and has numerous chances, It was he who hosted the relics of Risos brought the Athenian colonists from Troy, resume:

There is the remarkable, devotional set, (This three cubicles, they were excavated in a tomb of Amphipolis), which was open and visited and used, Perhaps for centuries, for the price of one performance (or more;;) irwopoiimenoys dead, (in accordance, always, What we conclude from the communications of the Ministry of Culture and anaskafews). I Think, also, given the dating of worship set, at the end of the 4th BC. century. The Rhesus, though, He was buried on a hill, beside the river Struma, the 5th b.c.. century. This seeming contradiction leads me to make the following two assumptions:

If proved, by carbon method, how the dead found beneath the third Chamber of the cult series (as well as this very burial) build-time pre-dates the cult all, (as I believe), then I also believe that this devotional set was constructed over the tomb of the hero, just because the space was already sacred, because the Thracians and the Athenian colonists of Amphipolis worshiped there irwopoiimeno mortal (anthrwpodaimona, When Euripides) Riso and so, a member of the Macedonian, the royal dynasty, (Why not himself Alexander the great;) He chose to build the magnificent, burial Tomb over the place of ancient worship of the beloved hero – semi-God of Thracians, just in order to accept this, by residents of the famous city, cults and the values that fit in a hero like the mythical King of Pageos, for whom she had spoken to Homer and had dedicated an eponymous tragedy of the Evripides. Because it raises the legitimate question as to whether the bones are those of three thousand years, a possible answer is that because the Athenians said they brought is that bones of Risos, so you need to be; Could well find some other bones to the wrapped in purple mantle and presented with a view like the Risos, in order to fulfill the Oracle!

If, again, proven, always by carbon method, that the deceased was found is a contemporary of construction time of worship set, then you need to keep looking for, on the same hill and the cavernous gaps that, of course, he hides, the hero of Amphipolis, the Riso, but that again the Member of Macedonian, the royal dynasty, who built the funerary monument of the same site, to legalise the hero and price performance in his own person! In both cases, the tumulus of Amphipolis I'm sure will do countless generations of Greeks proud for the ancients our ancestors, the wonderful myths and the brilliant culture.

THE FORMS PARAPEMPOYN IN MARIA'S VICTORIES

Τι δική του άποψη σχετικά με τις παραστάσεις που είναι ζωγραφισμένες στα επιστύλια, expressed by the archaeologist Petros Themelis.

l_15423

In light of the publicity gave the Wednesday noon (03/12/2014) the Ministry of culture new photos from Amphipolis.

A few days after the marathon press conference that announced the end of the first phase of the excavations in Amphipolis, the Ministry of culture gave publicity photos from the third and Fourth Chamber!

This is for photos of the epistylia found in the third place of burial monument. In epistylia can discern an animal in the Center, likely going to bull and either two forms, on the go, one female and one male.

The newscast of NERIT, the archaeologist, Petros Themelis expressed the view around the shows that are painted in the epistylia found on the site of Karyatidon and for which was fuss!

Specific, Mr. Themelis stresses that the shapes and symbols that we see in epistylia mentioning all the victories of the dead. «We have to do symbolic victories of the deceased in races. The styles have a hand up, in "dancing" stops, It is a ritual that I do not know exactly which refers, in Thessaly was sacrifice Bull for example», reports by Mr. Themelis.

«Has a victory at least with wings, with a vessel down that is not pitcher, Maybe it's amphora Panathinaikos, symbolizing victory and also the right tripod, that and he's winning Prize», Stressing that the performances are dedicated to great victories of the dead.

Amphipolis: He joined marquetry and fragments of the mosaic, of Karyatidas, of wings

ASSEMBLING WORK IN PROGRESS
Amphipolis: He joined marquetry and fragments of the mosaic, of Karyatidas, of wings
«Tell us, are of great artistic value; We see that they are beautiful, but they are really works of art;"we asked shortly after the end of the marathon presentation of excavation in Amphipolis. The answer was absolute and clear "are masterpieces. Unique creations attic workshops. "

Despite objections, the ambiguities, the questions, the questions that flared up more than taϊstikan with elements in excavation travelogue for Amphipolis which made Jamie Peristeri together with the architect Dimitris Lefantzi and the civil engineer Dimitri Egglezo, the undeniable fact is that it is a unique monument in the world. There is no precedent and this is obvious even now has not revealed any secret. It has only reveal the beauty of.

A beauty that will continue to unfold as became clear last Saturday in the presentation to the Ministry of culture. Experts are working intensively to assemble or to restore to life representations and images: The Caryatid without face, the mosaic with the abduction of Persephone and the wings of the Sphinx will continue to be disclosed if you acquire House. And cause even emotion in their Viewer.

The mosaics of Rapture of Persephone.
With speculation about why the large hole in the center of the mosaic depicting the abduction of Persephone to continue (There was an altar, looking for something the Tomb robbers, and so on.) the Peristeri Katerina revealed that Digger have found several pixels. Have cleaned studied and already has begun the process of assembling, They fitted in its correct position. The mosaic will reveal even more secrets, Although it is not clear yet to what extent. It is noted that the mosaic and the edging is one of the elements used by the excavation team for the dating of the monument in the last quarter of the 4th century BC.

The Caryatid without face
Won the face of Karyatidas the Tomb robbers; No, This was not, Katerina Peristeri and assures Jamie Lefantzis. The fall of a spar broke the face. If it had been removed with a chisel or other tool would be no cracking horizontal in sculpture. Apparently tumbling the beam hit the nerve of marble and took away the whole piece.

We found fragments and pieces of, gathered, studied and will be followed by an effort to join in person, to complete the picture.

The Sphinxes will "fly"
It was the first finding which caused AWE, and global interest and suspense: The Sphinxes guards at the entrance of the monument. There we saw the Prime Minister bends over with admiration. The Lady Peristeri explained how they have found several fragments of feathers which have already made their welding in order to create as much as possible the spread of wings (without prejudice to the possibility of full recovery) and to complement the beauty and art of Sphinxes. We remind that the height of the statues are 1,45 m while in their bodies that are crafted with fine ntisilidiko, imprinted the plasticity and the high art of sculptors of the era.

The secrets that will tell us the human figures
And for the end we kept a finding which I never saw and revealed himself as the Minister Kostas Tasoylas in recent visit to Amphipolis: Performances with human forms in epistylia, detected before about two months and transferred in secrecy at the Museum of Amphipolis (meaning a local alarm and foyntwnontas rumors that matching signs). We know that you are going to faint human figures in red and blue color, without ruling out according to some archaeologists to ' show ', to include and the dead. Unfortunately currently has no procedure for the nomination and study, not even a photo shoot with ultraviolet to learn more facts about the show. But when revealed will definitely be another possible element of storytelling of this monument, the Tomb that so far talks with beauty symbols, AWE and prestigious.

Τα μάρμαρα της Αμφίπολης έχουν τη δική τους ιστορία

Μόλις η στάθμη των νερών στη λίμνη Κερκίνη των Σερρών χαμήλωσε, What was an open secret for locals came back to light. More than a hundred of the scattered large marbles of the ancient Mound Kasta Amphipolis, cornices, uprights and stepseis, parts of the monumental enclosure at burial Hill complex, suddenly appeared again through the waters.

794412702A99AFCA5E1985759D601C8F

The images gave in recent days published in the Ministry of culture, show some of the approximately 500 architectural members are left here and there in the broader drama Earth. Already since last March, in the 27th scientific meeting for the archaeological project in Macedonia and Thrace, in Thessaloniki, the head of KI Ephorate of prehistoric and classical Antiquities, the digger Katerina Peristeri, had announced that two years ago the Conservancy survey in the region of Amphipolis were detected in the area of the monument of Leo scattered architectural parts, to open at the base and height of 5 m. Lion.

Based on the archaeological considerations, much of it was apoxilwthei in Roman times from the burial grounds of the Mound. Came, i.e., from the unique in the world, because of the size of (length 497 measures, height of three meters), funerary enclosure of Mound Kasta, dating between 325 and 300 eg (last quarter of the 4th century). According to Ms. Peristeri, the precinct that carries the signature of renowned architect at that time Deinokrati, a friend of Alexander the great. These marbles that were built from Aliki Thassos. From there, with special boats transported to ancient Amphipolis.

Today, scientists who study the excavation of Amphipolis is talking about four rows of marble per meter, IE for about 2.000 pieces of stones (for the total length of 497m.).

From these, as you point out, they have been found up to now about the 600, They identified by archaeologists as belonging to the burial grounds of the Mound Kasta. The 500 It is now in the lion of Amphipolis, While the remaining 100 the village Lithotopos, where are found under the mud or surface. In other words, the exact location remains unknown where are today the remaining 1.400 heavy marmaropetres that marking out the ancient this funerary enclosure. From as many, However, found, already several loaded from the excavation crew and transferred, to further study, in their inscriptions.

What the locals are saying today

"The marbles were sections-the yard of lining Mound of Amphipolis. As it is said, the Romans the xilwsan and threw in the Struma, in order to become passable the river, like a bridge, to can pass.

In there they threw and the lion, for’ It was found in disrepair, by Englishmen in 1917, "says Dimitris Dimoudis, President of the society for the study and Research of history of Serres (ERE). And complements: "The 1912, during the release, passed from the Hellenic Army and saw, for’ This and there are references for’ These. OTAN anymore in the 1930s took over the company Oylen to do projects so that the river might not fill the entire Valley, and began to clean the bed of, He found many of these marble stones. And because it was large and square, the loaded and transported elsewhere. Used to make the 1932 the basis of Kerkini dam in the village of Lithotopos».

"These stones were transported-unknown from whom, However, according to one version of the Romans- from the funerary enclosure and used in the construction of the original dam of kerkini in former Lake Achinos, which apoxiranthike the 1936. During the drying of, the Oylen the pulled out. Some found next to Lion. Others were moved farther away from where found, in the mid 1930s resulted in Lithotopos, the dam's artificial lake kerkini. Since the levees protecting of Lake "says in turn Costas Melitos, Mayor of Amphipolis.

"Where is currently about a hundred from the marbles, my peers and I remember from the 1965. Four years old I was then and up to the 1974-75, were swimming around the. We did dives beside s.’ these marbles, on the shore of the Lithotopoy dam in kerkini, Since then the waters of the Lake were spotless "remembers and the Mayor of Iraclia Serron, Kleanthis Kotsakiachidis. «

Always June-July fall the level of. Half marbles we then seemed, all the children of Lithotopoy, without knowing their origin, We played among them, pastured there and animals. This area was the threshing floor, with machinery then everyone was gathering the kritharia. "remember today.

Marbles and the new dam

On the premiership of Eleftherios Venizelos, 20 October 1928 the Greek Government-with contract comprising 35 articles, signed on behalf of Transport Minister Ant. Christomanos and Finance Minister c. Maris- commissioned in the u.s. (from New York) Monks and Oylen companies ("John Monks and Sons ' and ' Ulen and Company») to intervene in the hydrographic system of the region. To implement, i.e., appropriate land reclamation works in the plain of Serres. To settle the estuary and its tributaries of the Struma and to stabilize, After the Lake kerkini modeled only when River had been Downing too much water, When it was flooded the Plains Serron-Dramas.

In practice, in the context of the work, apostraggistikan the marshland of the plain and Lake Achinos (the once known as Kerkinitida)- until then, the main Lake of the Struma, in front of Amphipolis, occupied 80.000-140.000 acres, in the southeastern part of the serraϊkis plain. Beyond, Since then the river moved and thrown in the Lake large amounts of debris, he needed the construction of a new, the highest dam in kerkini, the elevation and expansion of embankments, so is feasible-controlled and irrigation.

In this work the Monks and Oylen manufacturers, that completed a two-year (1929-1930) the preliminary study of, used and marble cornices, uprights and stepseis from the precincts of Mound Kasta. That's because water remain unaltered as the marbles, It was the best material for the foundations-prop of the first dam in the waters of the river Strymon, next to the village Lithotopos: artificial reservoir which basically formed the Lake Kerkini, When the project was delivered ready, the 1932.

Along the way, the geography of the area changed again. This is because of the 1974 until the 1980 There were new, major land reclamation projects. Made, i.e., the new dam of Lithotopoy, to keep more waters, to irrigated kampos of Serres.

Later, in the mid-90s, next to the dam, created and the port of Lithotopoy, a floating platform-Hill to get inside the boats and protected, but also to parked cars, After you have started tourism. Done and asphalt, by Lithotopos-southwest of Kerkini, up to the village of Kerkini-Northwest, to be connected and drive, at a distance 18 km, the Lake of’ Tip s.’ edge.

The Kerkini now

Today, only one Lake lies in the Valley of Serres, in the land of ancient Strymonia: the Kerkini, to the Northwest of serraϊkis Valley, 40 kilometers from the city of Serres, about 100 from Thessaloniki. Stretched out in 80.000 acres (from the 700.000 of the plain), is the unique wetland that (the 2006) declared as a National Park.

At The Same Time, is one of the 10 Wetlands of international importance in Greece, based on the international Ramsar Convention. Owned and in the network of protected areas of the European Union "Natura 2000".

The total area of the protected area, the care which is taken from the 2002 Lake Kerkini Management body (www.kerkini.gr), arrives in 830.000 acres. There live 26 reptile species, 11 amphibian species, 44 mammalian species, 31 fish species, more from 300 bird species, at least 4.300 insect species, While some grow 1.300 plant species.

An olive grove covers the theatre of Amphipolis

K. Peristeri: The ancient theatre is located in a prominent position-theater
The zero point is the investigation of the revelation of the ancient theatre of Amphipolis, for which there is only one intersection they did before 30 years ago the late archaeologist Dimitris Lazaridis.

By March 2013 has issued the joint ministerial decision of the-then- Ministers of finance and Culture, (C). Stournaras and k. Javara, for the forced expropriation of a large olive grove covering the Orchestra, However the issue is not solved, as the owner does not consent.
MS. Peristeri, in the text version of the "Decorative" about the ancient theatres of Macedonia, notes that the theatre of Amphipolis ' is located northeast of the ancient gymnasion, in a prominent Amphitheater location overlooking the estuary of the Strymon River and the mountains that surround».
The test section was from the d. Lazaridi in-depth 7-8 measures, at one point today is covered by the olive grove. The building material of the Auditorium (p. s.. spectator area with Auditoria) not saved, as was the building material all previous years, but clearly distinguished the configuration. In this he refers and the designation of the position «stairs», from where residents of Amphipolis and surrounding areas supplied by the 1920 and after plenty of building material, which was sometimes saleable item for the owner of the area.
Archaeologists however do not exclude part of seats to lie under the trees, While they feel sure the trees have covered the Orchestra, which survives in great depth with possibly some of the first rows of seats. Suggest after the expropriation of the olive grove, to make remote sensing, in order to identify what part of the ancient theatre is saved and what tasks are required for the emergence of.
As stated by Ms. Peristeri, "with the disclosure of the Orchestra and rows of seats, could become a satisfactory effort to represent the ancient theater».

Two strangers in the same excavation

The Jamie's strained relations with the Ministry of culture, Peristeri

Two strangers in the same excavation (EUROKINISSI / AGRICULTURE PANAGOPOULOU)

Rarely seen Lina Mendoni showing the irritation of. Letting innuendo inside a packed auditorium with reporters, archaeologists, University professors.

But, the marathon presentation of Group of Amphipolis and excavation, mainly, some placements of archaeologist Katerina Peristeri caused the irritation of c. c. the Ministry of culture. And testified that the relations between the political leadership of the Ministry and the head of the excavation in the tumulus of Amphipolis is not optimal…

And it's not just the fact that Lina Mendoni literally swooped around the Bulletin Board expressing frustration about some questions "and answers», as said. Extra, corrected the excavator with some mistakes of ' to fatigue ', He spoke extensively about the skeleton, for whom Ms. Peristeri has not wanted to talk, While made a revelation that sounded like a small bomb at the Auditorium.

And while the previous months by the Ministry in any way and tone had erected a wall for defence of Katerina orymagdo from the declarations of Peristeri, appraisals, comments made by some members of distance, in Saturday's meeting, it became clear that relations with the Lina Mendoni, but with the Anna Panagiotarea is strained. The end of the excavation and the descent in Athens have highlighted this aspect, no mood to keep up appearances.

Waiting for the envelope of Peristeri
And if it seems incredible, the excavation of great, unique in the world monument of Amphipolis, that has caused the global interest, He has "passed" by the all-powerful Central Archaeological Council (KAS). "I have asked for two months by the Lady Peristeri to prepare the folder and let us bring him to pass from the KAS», Lina Mendoni revealed, looking at the excavator that was sitting on the edge of the table.

The excavation of Amphipolis, well, has not yet systematically classified! Still considered rescue. The Secretary General explained that once revealed the Sphinxes, in August, had-for security reasons and significance- to proceed the excavation, even under the rescue. Added, of course, that there are no more arguments and excuses for further delay on designating as a systematic.

Enoploi guards and volunteers in Amphipolis
After the revelation of Sphinxes, the monument became protected by guards with guns, said Jamie Peristeri. A phrase that also rushed to fill-clarify Lina Mendoni. "What we did-as we had- was to ask the Ministry of public order and the police station of the area protection. Whether the policemen oploforoysan or not is not something with which relates the Ministry», stated after completion of the workshop the Lina Mendoni, in the presence of Minister Costas Tasoula, who had returned to the room and agree wholeheartedly with the Secretary-General.

It was however the exclamations "if possible;», "what;"they did at the outset the Lina Mendoni to intervene. When Katerina Peristeri, answering questions representative of the temporary staff of the Ministry, It was said that the excavation involved volunteers. "Architects, people who love the place and have shown great interest in the excavation ". There were no volunteers, only a girlfriend and close collaborator for years by the head of the excavation, clarified the "Iron Lady" of the Ministry of Culture.

Tell about the skeleton, tell
Katerina Peristeri firmly refused to talk about the skeleton. Indeed, even her close associate, Architect Michalis Lefantzis, When journalist spoke about «skeleton found inside and outside the tomb ", replied "you where you know this;». Response aroused sensation, Since it is known to the world audience that clearly stated in the official press release.

A distance to the communicative management of what we say and what is not revealed on the occasion of the skeleton, well. And while some time the responsible contact for Amphipolis Anna Panagiotarea, from the first series, leaned forward and told the excavator «say what you found, say», Lina Mendoni revealed everything in detail-and with reference to the controversial press release.

"As we write in the press release, the skeleton found snatches inside and outside of the burial trench. So the skull found at some distance from the trench. Just out from the trench – say exactly why this obviously happened to be present, I wasn't when I found the skull – found the jowl, the mandible. Inside the excavation found the bulk of skeletal remains, that if anyone noticed the bones sees that has large leg bones and the bones of the hands, has side, has parts of the spine and pelvis, which by falling over stones is in a very fragmentary condition so as not to allow archaeologists to say if you can synthesize female or male pelvis, why this is. If there are holes which are in female skeletons. The hole may not be recognized by archaeologist nor either of the architect or the engineer, just because the basin is broken into many pieces. It is dismembered. Removed, as Mrs Peristeri, and what can I say, because I saw at least some process, with the soils and bones, for the very simple reason if the modern genetic material, i.e. If the workers ' hands, the archaeologists, my own that I was there or the photographer touched this material, will automatically exafanizan or disrupt information which can rescue the Earth despite the bad conditions and despite the moisture all these clearly have created problems in skeletal material ".

Only General Secretary, No archaeologist

Immediately after the completion of the workshop, and while reporters besieged Lina Mendoni asking for clarifications or expressing concerns for some data-dating, who and why did katachwsi, can the skeleton does not belong to the official dead, but in tymbwrycho- the Secretary General stubbornly refused to place.

Elege I here I can't speak as archaeologist, but only as General Secretary not to insist ". It was clear, however, that for a number of issues has clear terms, Maybe a different approach from the hitherto dominant – with research course now begins to draw conclusions. Our harkened back to the texts, however, the ethnic Greeks Diwna, the history of which is one of the most important sources of Roman times about who and why did the internal Earth.

The Peristeri Afanti
"Where's Jamie Peristeri;». The question sounded constantly after the workshop, and as reporters besieging Dimitri Lefantzi. "Efyge», was the answer. Had to prevent the flight of. "So you said;», She queried the Anna Panagiotarea.

They had spent five hours in a Conference that probably was early. An archeological Trek, a journey to Amphipolis without pervasive glances and about the findings. And if it wasn't in the room great archaeologists who have questions, We wouldn't have and the "news" of the day: finding coins and pottery items count.
