Amphipolis.gr | THE COMMISSION AMFIPOLIS TAFOS – THE NOMISMATA TIS ARCHAIAS AMFIPOLIS

At 7/3/2015, in AUTH was in the context of Archaeological Meeting the presentation of the Mrs. Chrysanthaki for the coins of ancient Amphipolis.

Ms. Chrysanthaki, digital publishing program mentioned in excavation of coins from Ancient Macedonia, with the inclusion of a set of coins from the Ancient City of Amphipolis.

In the context of this cooperation took place maintenance, recording and study 500 coins found during excavations conducted by the archaeological society of Athens under the direction of d. Lazaridis and Taxman Antiquities Kavalas.

The maintenance of the currencies of the program conducted by the art Conservator and Helen Kotoula in archaeological museum of Amphipolis from March to August 2013.

The announcement of Mrs. Chrysanthaki aimed to enrich our knowledge about the monetary circulation of this important city and to answer questions related to history, the topography and the settlement organisation of Amphipolis by the establishment of the Athenian colony as the end of antiquity.

The coins that were selected to be included in the program come from different sectors of the city anaskafikoys, from the excavation of the d. Lazaridi, coins found in strong outer fortification, and more specifically by the northern wall and especially by the sections of walls of the columns (a), (B) and (c), from the Eastern wall near the gate e and South of this, and from the southern wall of the gate (d).

Also nomismatapoy were found in buildings earlier, modern, and later the northern wall.

Also coins from the Acropolis, from the open-air sanctuary of Cybele's under dolls and a series of Roman tombs found East and West of the Eastern wall South of the internal fortification of the Citadel. And finally from the excavations of the former R Ephorate of coins from the building complexes in the portal area F of the Eastern wall and in a position where it has been suggested the placement of Heros of Brasidas.

The coins have been found in areas of the northern wall of Amphipolis whose stratigraphy was often disturbed because of habitation in and out of the North wall are not able at present to confirm or disprove the proposed dating of two initial phases of construction of the northern wall.

In the early phases associated with the Athenian general Agnonas and the long wall mentioned by Thucydides, After the establishment of the Athenian apokias, and the second related to the presence of Brasidas at Amphipolis and the completion of the Northern fortifications of the Spartan General integrating wood deck in the portal (c) between the 424-422 . The coins of the northern wall testify more various interventions and repairs on their posterior wall classical and Hellenistic times and operate buildings such as building 12 that has been built on destruction layers that have epikalypsei the original starting point of the portal and corresponding to the level of the adjacent to the gate a younger Hellenistic gate.

The buildings which have anaskaftei inside a portal such as building 12 belong to the newest phase for dating input which the testimony of the currencies of the building 12 is important. Going for bronze coins Amphipolis 4th century, Philippi, 4th century, Philip b and c Show whose dating to the second half of the 4th century coincides with the date of synepigrafis marble column that found inside the parakeimenoy building 9 -10 which has been built with the same layer of backfill of dwelling 12. This is the well-known home sale contract you still in local currency of Amphipolis and published the Miltiadis Chatzopoulos.

Problematic also remains dating earlier than the northern wall of buildings such as. the small shrine of female deity who began working before 437 and was identified from the d. Lazaridi with sacred Nymphs or Thesmoforeio. Looked-but unfortunately we found far coins from the building's destruction layer that contains the important parts with ysteroarchaϊka eidwleia and austere, the local laboratory vessels, and the Red pitcher.

Currencies studied currently by the female sacred come from the backfill of the building, dating to the 4th and early 3rd century. e.g.. and related to your use of the site outside the wall.

The small outdoor shrine should not be operated in the 4th century after seems to no longer work with the erection of the wall.

Overview of the numismatic material that looked far from the excavation of the northern wall of fortifications of Amphipolis cannot help in restoring the first phases of the Athenian istorias sovereignty and does not allow even to understand the relationship of fortified Amphipolis tpografiki era Agnonas and Brasidas to the suburb of sources or even with the 9 the first colony of the streets of Athens which Thucydides puts in place of Amphipolis.

The majority of currencies of East wall, of the poleodwmikwn complexes near the gate (F) which has been identified with the Thrakeies dating Portals in the 2nd half of the 4th century and relates to the period of the 2nd phase of building this part of the city in the years that followed during the occupation of the city by Philip II after the destruction of the heros of Brasidas, and the new design of the urban fabric of the city with the ippodamio system.

The coins from the Acropolis.

And from the area of dolls from the sanctuary of Cybele and Tainted witness the systematic use of space from the late classical and Hellenistic period.

Finally the study 5 brethikanse funerary treasures of Roman tombs found East and West of the Eastern wall as well as within the East wall and Tower date to the end of the 1st and 2nd in a.d century give us valuable information about the residential city organization in the 2nd century a.d.

Until the August years the limits of Amphipolis seem to be those of classical and Hellenistic city phase. The main gate and the entrance of the city was the southern gate d where residents of Amphipolis will stisoyne 2 pedestals for statues of Augustus and Loykioy.

But the search of Roman tombs inside and outside the Eastern wall of the city in the 2nd century a.d, can be seen as a change in the residential fabric of the city with the downsizing of likely inside the Citadel of classical times as early as the 2nd century a.d installing cemetery outside the boundaries of the new and believed the abandonment of Eastern fortification.

The coins that have already been studied, mainly contribute to the restoration of monetary circulation of the city in the late classical and Hellenistic period and especially during the second half of the 4th century. and a half of the 3rd century. e.g..

The earliest coins found in the set of selected sectors are dated in the first half of the 4th century, Midatriki coins, Pausanias and Chalkidiki Alliance.

Monetary testimony filling the inscriptions and archaeological data shows that Amphipolis is a successful example of integration of a major city-State in the Macedonian Kingdom and the gradual transformation of the city in Macedonian with the adoption of the Macedonian institutions, the Royal Mint, and the use of Basil the Macedonian currency after its occupation by Philip b. Unlike the limited presence of the Macedonian Royal coins in the first half of the 4th century and to the present city coin apoysias Partridge (c) despite the installation of a Macedonian guard, the bronze Macedonian Royal cuts will dominate the monetary circulation of the city after the 357 and as the end of the Macedonian Kingdom. The more coins are bronze versions of Philip II and Alexander c contemporary and post-mortem. Follow the coins of Kassandoy, of d. Poliorkitoy and Royal type Macedonian shield cuts and helmet where due to poor preservation of coins do not have currently identified.

The limited presence of currencies of Antigonus Gonatas, of Philip v and Perseus is due to the excavation of areas that currently has studied.

Interesting is the significant presence of copper coins of the city of Philippi assassinated. e.g.. circulating along with versions of the bronze versions of Philip II and Alexander III.

With regard to the mints of Amphipolis lack Premier assassinated. currencies in excavation layers studied does not allows us to answer the question of the opening of the city's monetary production and more specifically of cutting or non-silver obols and imidrachmwn subdivisions in the last 4th of 5th century. as proposed by b. Poulios before the systematic cutting silver versions of the 370 and after.

Of particular interest is the appearance of copper subdivisions of Amphipolis in the layers of the 2nd half of the 4th century. and in the 1st half of the 3rd century. e.g..

From the 3 Bronze subdivisions greater that bring Apollo head in linear square with the national BISEXUAL absent from the set that we study while the bearded head with new medium with linear square with the national BISEXUAL appears sporadically. The small subdivision that bring new bearded head similar to the head of silver obols without linear square with the national BISEXUAL continues to circulate along with the coins of Philip II and Alexander III.

A lack of copper cuts of Amphipolis flying Hercules in emprosthotypo head and Lion in opisthotypo with the national AMFIPOLITWN which topic of dating remains open. The absence of those currently in the layers of the 2nd half of the 4th century the town is really problematic.

The image is formed at present by the numismatic material of Amphipolis agrees with that of ysteroklasikoy and the Greek cemetery where from mid-4th the Macedonian Royal cuts. By the mid 4th century Amphipolis with strong strategic position will become a new Macedonian town that will xanaorganwthei with new urban system, will welcome new population, You'll gain new institutions and with a new currency that will gradually replace the autonomous coinage. The once major Athenian colony will become standard for new cities.

THE “MALAMATADES” AND THE GOLD COLLECTION IN TERPNI & NIGRITA SERRES

Malamatas, It was he who was collecting gold from the streams of the region: In the South of the Sarpoybno River Terpni, the Language in Nigrita, and in the West of the Terpni River. The gold collection in Sarpoybno River survived from antiquity to our days. There are ancient references to certifi ed production of gold proschwsigenoys in the South of Terpnis1, but sygchrones2, as well as oral testimony on the same subject.

The narrators in nigrita made nominal references to collectors gold from the Language at the beginning of the last century, in malamatades. But in Terpni the generation of our parents remembered the last malamata in Sarpoybno River, who was collecting gold shortly before the middle of the last century. The narrators were, also, information about the technique followed by the last malamatades of Terpni. Some River sand xeplenan in shallow metal utensils and gold nuggets, because of that it was heavier than the grains of sand, stayed last in their utensils. Others were shallow wooden tubs which were at the bottom of the notches, where for the same reason the nuggets of gold katakathontan.

Is, though, known since antiquity, and another gold collection method from running waters of rivers. Listed with brief, as was recovered from the Internet. Reportedly left the geographer Strabwn3, "the Golden Plains rivers polarizability with sheep hides (hides, milwtes, Apples = sheep). The gold nuggets that bring water to wool tentwmenis milwtis sticking on the bottom of the river. The milwti then be hung from a tree to dry and then ached, so with the washing of ashes to remain solid gold. So, When Strabo always, He was born the legend of the Golden Fleece ".

In the years of our own generation were no longer "gold-diggers" or "metal hunters». Issue, though, came to life again when started from the Institute of Geological Studies Greece (IGME) inquiries for gold in Paliokastro4 area. Surveys lasted five years, from the 1976 up and the 1980. But the continued activity of i. g. m. e. in the area and after the 1980, having as their object the research of gold crumbs. The Igme, estab- enrichment unit under testise of the Holy Handkerchief, in which spiked samples from many regions of Macedonia and Thrace.

The malamatades
The Nigrita made at auction the right to collect gold from the river Language. As bidders reported Constantine Royntos and George Ioannou-Gioybantsios, who love to others in- medial to malamateyoyn, as John Koytharis from Nigrita. For Terpni we know that during the interwar period malamateyan many Terpniwtes and some of them are listed in p. e. Malamateyan on the river of the village, in the torrent that is next to the village, but mainly in Sarpoybno River, near Paliokastro, where, When the narrators, the malamatades had better odds.

He has also heard on old narratives, that and someone unknown stranger did held the same job next to the chapel of the Holy Handkerchief. They were all the last malamatades in our country.

Peristeri – Lefantzis: “The tumulus Kasta still hides many of Amphipolis”

The two scientists of the archaeological excavation speak in “Parapolitika”

Stavros Papantoniou, Journal “Parapolitika”

Despite the fact that last November, the official announcement of the Ministry of culture for its impressive ruins in Amphipolis was accompanied by highlighting "final", He made everyone believe how the excavation had reached the end of, It seems that the magnificent tumulus Kasta of the last quarter of the 4th century b.c.. will occupy us again in the near future. This follows from what they say in "PARAPOLITIKA" the two people who know as much as anyone else on State of play and who quite fall the Flash of publicity on the Tomb were working with orderliness and unearthed this important Hellenistic monument. The competent Digger, Katerina Peristeri, the closest collaborator of, Architect Michalis Lefantzis, and the whole excavation team currently progressing with too much attention, step by step, scientific work, which will give many answers in the archaeological mystery of Amphipolis.

The pedestal with the sculpture, in front of the caryatids

Despite the fact that all previous space expressed many assumptions and finally no it has not been possible to document, because of the many and conflicting opinions, the excavation team believes that there is edge in thread, both the tomb and saw that the entire monument. The movable findings that existed within the booths and not announced, as we have to follow the scientific ethics and their identification, reduce, as they say the information, the cases and lead to conclusions. "We had movable findings, who studied with attention by specialists. The completion of this study will lead to a lot of conclusions ", says very carefully the k. Peristeri. The movable findings were pieces of sculptures that existed in the ante-rooms, but in the last funeral chamber, ceramic, coins, vessels. At the same time, the area in front of the caryatids, in Pebble flooring, There are traces of a square that make many to assume that there was some pedestal statue, which stefanwnan the Caryatides that was just behind and perhaps related to the worship of the dead the whole tumulus and not only the concrete Tomb. Even in the last, particularly appalling site found fragments of sculpture, which conserved and studied this period in the Museum of Amphipolis, While it is true that will lead one step closer to the solution of the puzzle.

“The corridor has not been heading towards the Centre of the mound” – Is the main Tomb he saw;

"Many saw, few understood». With this concise and highly enigmatic phrase describes Michalis Lefantzis the burial "blockbuster" that we saw on our TV screens all the previous months, Getting precise distances from the communicative "perfect storm" of past months, that led to "a piecemeal interpretation of the monument", as it says, and errors. «We have to deal with spatial data whose architectural form is detected through the coexistence and convergence of multiple uses and typologikwn faith idioms. The monumental ensemble of the mound indicates the prominent building of a place of worship and price performance in persons particularly great importance».

What were these people can't say. «The monument speaks for itself and we need to hear it. We will have to study the data in relation to the layers of excavation"says Ms. Peristeri.
These section found above the caryatids our definitely tells a story. And can found to diapseydotan for two months by the Ministry of culture, fact that captures the prevailing alaloum communications, However this period begins to ' break the silence ' by cleaning.

This so called by many (incorrect) architrave 'It may not be the only one that exists in the tumulus. Maybe he wants to tell us the story of a high dead, they came to coexist with earlier notable burials, by establishing a new worship on earlier cults and increasing the sanctity of the Tomb. In such a case the monument, the typologikoi designations and comparative examples show us an architectural composition in which imprinted the knowledge of a culture that has gone in the East and has now returned with a universal Visual», says the Lord Lefantzis.

To question whether he has found is the main Tomb, Mr. Lefantzis says: «The indications that we have, especially in fourth place, they give us in the excavation of the Tomb two kibwtioschimoy posts: those of a funerary bed and a tefrodochoy. The skeletons found in higher layers and witness the violent conclusion of some people to the point where its found devotional space property either for expiation from pillage that preceded in space. The fact that this particular "corridor" has no direction toward the Center has led many to suspect that perhaps is not the main tomb of the huge mound».

See photo with a representation that reflects the direction that moves the Tomb has been discovered, which is not in the center of the mound:

Katerina Peristeri: "The excavation is not over '

This working hypothesis, has gone out of her mind group excavation, which this period, in parallel with the study of funerary monument, searches and other points within the tumulus. «I never said that the excavation was finished there"says Mrs Peristeri, which responds to the critics of the presence of the annual archaeological Conference, saying that "the findings they want much study and it now requires only works from a series of scientific panels and no announcements. And it is a pity that some people do not respect the monument and personally play games». The main Lefantzis from the side of, considers that what matters is the interdisciplinary study and research the entire mound as product composition and combination of views and the result of collective work that will lead to a set of technical interventions for the protection, strengthening and restoration of the monument. Even optimistic that indicates there may be other findings the same impressive. Even using the literal meaning of the words, indicates how "What we have done so far was primarily the systematic disclosure of parts of the monument. The excavation in the true sense is ... in front of us " The head of the excavation Madam Peristeri underlines, How “the Tomb still conceals many treasures that we must look”

Epikoinwniakos war and strategies

At the same time that the excavation team working, in the background is a perception war. In recent days Mr. Kambouroglou, Geologist of excavation in Amphipolis, He has spoken publicly against Ms. Katerina Peristeri and k. Michael Lefantzi and will make announcements at an annual Archaeological Conference, Despite the fact that there is a departmental document prohibiting, If you have not been given the permission of the head of Inspectorate. This scientist, that fact had come back into the hype, as he had made the mistake of believing the fallen pole doorframe in third place, It now says that Leo was not atop the mound. The documentation that has made Mr. Lefantzis relies on a series of data. Inter alia, notes that "starting the match and performance study of scattered marble architectural members of the precinct who were near the current location of the lion-which is in itself a breakthrough- and documenting studies were published for this in the past by leading archaeologists and architects, Indeed, the probability of correlation of the sculpture and the pedestal of the precincts of the mound and with the quadrilateral pwrino Foundation on top of, around which found tons of latypis, which stated the high marble manufacturing configuration at this point. At the level of geometry, measurement of embatikwn, the processing of the quarrying of marble until his final edit, Leo, the pedestal and the precinct show from scratch series proportions and common morphological and typologikwn items, that formatted the model of a single architectural ensemble. There Are, Indeed, and other scattered architectural parts, like and sections of the sculpture, which recently concurred and will confirm this single set, Since it is the unique architectural monument of the area in which it has become so extensive use of marble in ancient times».

This is, However, the tip of the iceberg. It is an open secret that after the revelation of the monument, When the k and. Panagiotarea task communication in the ... tumulus, There was friction in the Group. The first time was When I climbed into the journalist's personal page on facebook unpublished photo of Caryatids, something that xenise many, They spoke of personal strategies. The fact, Besides, that Mrs Panagiotarea was responsible for communication of excavation and finally was "scuttled" shows that definitely made mistakes in handling such an important matter. Ms. Panagiotarea this period is outside the excavation, However the rumours that want to prepare the book for Amphipolis, without even having seen the whole tumulus, cause new passions, with the future of excavation.

Phillis, the daughter of Amphipolis and the worship of Cybele, and of ' Attios

The section between Mt. Paggeo and the Aggitis River Strymon and called «Phyllis», as testified by Herodotus:
«And the Earth this on the mount Pageon kaleetai Fillis, katateinoysa to esperin on each Aggitin issuing unto the river Struma, and to mesimbriin teinoysa s this Struma '
PERFORMANCE: "And this site, located around the Pangeo, Fyllis said, and extends westwards as the river Aggitis which pours its waters into the Struma, While southwards extends as the Strymon» (KING ISTORIAI, Version Gkobosti – Book VII "POLYMNIA")

According to another tradition, the name of the region of Pageos, Rodoleibos came from his daughter Sithwnos, the Fyllis, which aleifeto with extract from the efyonto wheel there and have been linked to ritualistic cults and customs of the area. The rose-rosette, is solar symbol belongs to the solar deities and Sun of Vergina, We see it indicates the worship of the Macedonians in this.

As we have mentioned in our previous post THE SFIGGES AND THE TELETOYRGIKOS AKEFALES APAGCHONISMOS the son of the hero Theseus and Faidras, the Minotaur, After the Trojan war he chose for his beautiful wife Fyllis, as a result her father and King of Hedoni, Sithwnas, anointed him his successor – the Kingdom of Thracian sex was a major commercial and economic station Amphipolis.

The Minotaur however had to turn quickly in Athens and before leaving, vowed to return that quickly Fyllis. Fyllis the xeprobodise in the nine Streets (the later Amphipolis), they gave him a box, a kisti Rhea, which had to be opened only when we lose hope that it will xanagyrize near the. The Minotaur was unable to reach quickly in Athens, Since leaving, a tempest the pulled out in Cyprus. Nine times downloaded fyllis from the city to the port to see if the boat of her beloved arrived. But in vain. To commemorate these nine days, they named the place, "Nine streets". Desperate and convinced that the betrayed, hanged himself from a tree, hanged.
Suicide of Phyllis, Bibliotheque nationale de France

The Gods, from compassion, transformed the Fyllis in tree, in almond, which became a symbol of hope and rebirth. When the Wanderer, full of remorse, Demophon returned, Fyllis found like a naked dried tree without leaves and flowers. Desperate hugged the tree, which suddenly showered by flowers, showing that love cannot be defeated by death.

John William Waterhouse, “Phyllis and Demophon” (1907)

Inland deliveries the almond tree one of the Trees of life and is one of the trees the great mother, Rhea-Cybele as Queen of Thiron identified with the worship of Artemis, Demeter and Persephone. On frygikes traditions, the almond tree symbolizes the cause, the source of all things. Represents the spring, the vigilance and the awakening. Associated with the birth of Atti, After the almond tree grew from the organs of Agdistis ermafroditis.

Amorian tradition for local’ This says that Zeus, in his sleep on, ekspermatwse on Earth, and that time she gave birth to a demon with double genitalia, man and woman I him/her named Agdisti. The gods, Fearing him/Agdisti, cut off the men's bodies. And re’ These grew an almond tree. When ripen the fruits of, they say, the daughter of Sakarya River, the nymph Sagaritida, the cut. And like having in the bosom of the, those lost immediately, and she was found with child in the belly. And when she gave birth to a child left ektheto and peripoiotan a scapegoat. As it grew, the beauty of surpass human measures and then fell in love with the Agdisti. When the Attis grew, his relatives sent him to Pessinounta to marry the daughter of the King. The time that was sung imeneo, shows the Agdisti and Attis is occupied by fad and cuts his genitals. So did and he gave him to wife the daughter of. The Agdisti regretted for the sufferings inflicted on Atti and succeeded by Zeus to not sipetai any part of the body of Attios nor melts. (Παυσανίας 7.17.10-13)

Cybele's sacred animal ippeyoysa, the lion, brandishing a bow and arrow as Artemis, in precious silver vase from the Thrace of the late classical era

Other additional versions of the myth by Arnobio places the story in the frontiers of Phrygia, to the point where there was a desert Crag called Agdos (the term Twin). There Deucalion and Pyrrha, the father and mother of the human race, they had crafted people in stone, and Cybele, the great mother of the gods, She was chiseled in this rock-for’ This goddess was worshipped in the form of a raw stone, a black betyloy.

Zeus wanted to unite with her but did not succeed and left his sperm in’ an adjacent rock. From this was born the ermafrodito creature Agdisti who got drunk and castrated Dionysus. From his blood grew a pomegranate tree. Fruit from this pomegranate tree placed in the bosom of the Dwarf, daughter God of Sakarya River of Phrygia, and she got pregnant. The Sangarius ordered to let the child who was born, ektheto. The upbringing of the infant took a scapegoat, so I got the name of Attis, in Frygika, «attagus», means goat, but it also has the meaning of "the handsome". The Agdisti claimed the Atti, Cybele and the Pessinoyntas King Midas for his daughter's account. Not to take any other, the Agdisti enebale in Atti and the sequence of the fad, the Nice eynoychistike Attis beneath a pine tree and died.

Cybele buried members of, but from the blood of the wound of menexedes that surrounded the sprouted pine. The daughter of Midas committed suicide from the despair of. Cybele the burried and over the grave of grew an almond tree. Jupiter, moved by the prayers of Agdistis, the body of Attios agreed to not decay, his hair continue to grow and the little finger moving. The Agdisti was carrying the body in Pessinounta, City in upper Phrygia, near the Sangarius River, where the buried, He built a temple, He founded the priests ' Attios brotherhood and established celebration to honor him.

In the courtyard of the Temple grew an almond tree. End, It is said that Agdisti is an adjective in Phrygia to Cybele or Rhea, Therefore the Agdistis is a form of the goddess in Phrygian cherished better.

Cybele in a chariot of Lions

The primal deity worshipped in the Sanctum which Attis was excavation in the North-West of Amphipolis. The pwrolithiko building has dimensions 9 × 4.10 m. In the center of the building, It was revealed a circular fireplace. The identity of the sacred was confirmed by the discovery of a column and apotmimatwn figurines anathimatikis, the subject matter of which falls in the pictorial cycle of frygikis divinity.

The myth of Attios and Agdistis is the story of death and perpetual rebirth of life (Pine, almond tree, Pomegranate tree, menexedes) symbolized with the ceremonial hangings and dendrolatreia.

The cult had rich sacramental character everywhere where had spread, and the announcement of hidden so-called give and not dictated by simple honesty, but it was a condition for beneficial effect of secret rituals, ieropraxiwn to the individual and to the community. In worship existed and worship dance: The Korybantes orchoymenoi presented and in myths as demons following frygikis's great mother whose always dragging chariot Lions. In the worship of, Select dance performed the ceremonial orchisi, that is old means of devotional, more effective than the simple prayer.

The mysteries easily offered for allegorical reference to the rebirth of nature and Great Mother Earth as he identified himself accordingly with the Dimitra and God of vegetation Dionysus, somehow «secret», i.e. allegorical. Flowers of Fyllidas ,the almond anastimenis, the first flowers of the year, are those who send the upbeat pulse over the frozen earth, calling begin a new cycle, a new dance, in the perpetual process of the rebirth of nature and life.

Bernard Sleigh, Phyllis and Demophon, 1894

Tender and sensitive, the anthopetala of almond, dare to make life afypnistes, thysiazomena in icy air. Similar to the temperaments of young girls that are pure virgins, Daughters, that dancing their dance ritual involved him in orgiastic intoxication, ready and those sacrificed to apagchonistoyn, the call of the great Afypnisti of love, in order to regenerate symbolically to a higher ontological Unity.

Archaiologika monuments that raise unanswered questions

Even today they divide the scientific community – What is the myth about «mysterious» Easter Island, the Stooynzetz,the great Sphinx of Giza

Worldwide there are monuments from different cultures that lived on our planet. Some of them are dedicated to Kings, other gods, other people, While there are churches that are built to commemorate some ”Holy” animals. But there are also some monuments even divide the scientific community today for the reasons why created. See the top ten most famous world archaeological monuments covered with ”veil” mystery and continue to Perplex scientists, but tifantasia to fascinate and others.

Sacsayhuaman

Not far from the famous Inca city Machu Picchu, is the Sacsayhuaman, a strange mound of huge stone rocks. The impressive walls, near the old capital Cuzco, It's so well built that neither the blade of a small knife to fit to pass through associations. Around the monument have been discovered several underground catacombs called chincanas, used as connecting passages in other buildings of the Incas in the region.

Like most works of the Incas built with large stones that fit together with stunning precision. How the Incas were able to construct or even more how they moved huge rocks in the region remains till today a great mystery. Perhaps eventually the Incas were right when they said the Spanish conquistadors that they were the ones who built the Sacsayhuaman, but "the Giants".

The mysterious ' Easter Island '

The Easter Island is located in the South Pacific, between Chile and Tahiti and its existence is the result of a series of volcanic eruptions. The first settlers found a rich in vegetation island, filled with giant Palm trees, they used to build boats and homes. One thing tie them all together, the construction of statues and worship that formed around them.

It is unclear why the inhabitants of Easter Island statues produced to such a great extent. What is one of the great mysteries why they made this kind of statues. Even the way it is turned, (all in one direction toward) is a mystery. When you see individually or in series, you give the impression that something waiting for you from the sky or the sea.

Stonehenge
Stonehenge is considered one of the largest and most spectacular megalithic monuments in the world. The reasons why build is unknown, Although there are many cases. Situated on the plain Salisbury three kilometers from the town of Wiltshire in South West England.

The construction was divided into three parts and it took a total of 25 generations to complete. From all the famous monuments of the world, None has gained so much notoriety for the mystery that surrounds. Stonehenge was the inspiration endless discussions among scholars, scientists and historians of the middle ages. There are many fabulous stories that try to explain the existence of.

The most widespread myth is that of King Arthur. According to him the King of Britons Aurelius Ambrose wanted to build a monument in honor 300 about English nobility who were massacred in the 5th century by the traitor leader of Saxonwn Chengkest. Ambrose King, father of Arthur, enlisted the help of the magician Merlin for that can be found such a monument. The magician told him to look at an Irish mountain where placed a circle of concrete stones, My Giant ring. They believed that these stones had healing properties and they were named so because their transfer from Africa where were, had become by Giants long ago. King Aurelius and his army tried to dismantle these stones unsuccessfully. The Merlin helped once again using his own collection of machines and tricks to make the transfer of the monument.

The great Sphinx of Giza

The great Sphinx of Giza is a statue which depicts a sphinx (Mythological creature with a lion's body and a human head) in sitting posture. The statue is located on the plateau of Giza in Egypt and in the famous necropolis. With a length of 73,5 measures, width 6 m. and height 20.22 measures, is the largest monolithic statue in the world. It is also the oldest known monument type statue, and considered that it was built by the ancient Egyptians of the old Kingdom, during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (2558 – 2532 e.g.).

Despite his reputation as one of the most famous monuments of antiquity, a few things have become as known today for the great Sphinx of Giza. The first Egyptologists and excavators of the Giza complex believed that both the Sphinx and the remaining buildings in the region, was previously assumed chronology of their construction and the founder of the Archaeological Museum of Cairo, August Mariet, the 1857 brought to light an inventory of goods column. Among the remaining, States that the Pharaoh Cheopas accidentally found the statue which was already misothameno in the sand. The theory of the existence of the Sphinx before the Pharaoh Chefrino can has few modern followers, But if true it would mean that the great Sphinx of Giza is even more mysterious than previously believed.

Steered u.s. Georgia Guidestones

The Georgia guidestones» (in English Georgia Guidestones) It is a huge granite fabrication, located at the top of the Hill Elbert County, in Georgia, USA. Often referred to as the "American Stonehenge", It is actually a message comprising ten instructions, which are engraved in eight modern languages, While a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the construction, in four ancient writing systems: Babylonian, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The artifact is almost six meters height (Twenty feet) and is made from six granite slabs, weighing over 100 tons total. One plate is in the Center, with the other four arranged around this. At the top is the sixth plate, as crested tidy. Noteworthy is that the plates are aligned astronomically. An additional stone tablet, It is located on the ground and a short distance to the West of construction, that provides some clarification about the history and purpose of ' Boulder ' Guidelines.

Circle Goseck

One of the most mysterious monuments in Germany is the Goseck Circle, a monument made of soil, gravel, and wooden Palisades is regarded as an example of "primitive Solar Observatory." the course consists of a series of circular grooves and a raised mound in the Center. The enclosures have three openings or gateways, to the Southeast, Southwest and North. It is believed that the monument was built around 4900 e.g.. by Neolithic peoples, and that the three openings correspond to the direction in which the sun rises for the winter solstice.

The mystirioProsektiki construction of the monument has led many scientists to believe that the Goseck Circle was built to serve as a kind of primitive solar or lunar calendar, but the exact use still until today a source of debate. The facts have shown that the so-called "solar worship was prevalent in ancient Europe. This has led to the view that the cycle was used in rituals, maybe even human sacrifices. This case has not yet been proven, but archaeologists have uncovered many human bones, as a headless human skeleton, just outside the palisade.

The Nazca lines

The Nazca lines are a series of ancient gewglyfikwn in the Nazca desert of Peru. Covering an area of more than 500 square meters, between the towns of Nazca and Palpa of and are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although some of the gewglyfika resemble Paracas tribe's plans features, scientists believe that the Nazca lines created by Nazca race around in Mr x 200p. – 700Mr x. The hundreds of separate shapes formed by lines, vary from the most simple geometric shapes, until drawings Lama, spiders, sharks, lemurs, etc..

The lines were created by digging the reddish surface of the desert, until you look the aspridero layer of sand beneath. There are hundreds of simple lines or geometric shapes, and more than 70 animal designs, birds, fish and people. The biggest stunts have length greater than 200 measures. The importance of lines is a controversial issue until now for scientists. One hypothesis is that the Nazca people created to see from above the gods.

Kosok and Reiche the suggested a likely purpose related to astronomy and Cosmology: the lines were aimed to diatelesoyn as a kind of Observatory, that suggests to the distant point of the horizon where the Sun erupt or dyoyn and other celestial bodies during the solstices. Many prehistoric primitive cultures in America and elsewhere produced works with the Earth combining the astronomical observation by their religious Cosmology, as was done with the culture of the Mississippi in Kachokia of current United States but also in England's Stonehenge. The Gerald Hawkins and Anthony Aveni, fluent in Archaeoastronomy, they reached the 1990 concluded that the available evidence in support of such an astronomical explanation is insufficient.

The Reiche argued that some or all of the figures depicted constellations. As the 1998, the Phyllis B. Pitluga, a protection of Reiche and superior astronomer of the Planetarium Adler (Adler Planetarium) in Chicago, concluded that the figures were animals ' representations of celestial forms». But that was not argued shapes constellations but instead-the constellations as we called these dark patches irregularly shaped sparkling edge of the Galaxy. "the work criticized Aveni about the inability to explain the details in their entirety.

Yonaguni Monument

The 1985 the Kihachiro Aratake, a diver who organised trips to the bottom of Japan was looking to find a new place to observe the sfyrokefaloys sharks. Did well to dive in the southeastern part of the small island of Yonaguni(Yonaguni) at the point called Arakawa and waited to see normal, Marine corals, large quantities of plankton and any entrance in underwater cave, things that exist in the bottom of the sea. But what was down there I hadn't seen for thousands of years!

In incredibly clean waters in the area and saw the eye as, There was a megalithic formation that seemed to be made by humans, with fairly large fabricated stairs and all this formation developed by large and vertical walls. Additional research done in the area proved that there were large symmetrical channels with angles and depth 2 measures. This megalithic monument extends over a distance greater than 100 measures. New for this great discovery spread slowly and outside Japan. It took about 10 years to begin to display the information in various media which were primarily anthropological journals. These articles was creative and unique, but some deficiencies had. The first serious scientific studies began in 1996 by Professor Masaaki Kimura, that was a geologist at the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa. He and his team recorded the original structure of the formations. Up to now, several other ruins have been found submerged in the area but the divers are prohibited from the visit because their recording by scientists not yet finished.

Professor Kimura provides a balance between these ruins that is evidence for a prehistoric civilization and the negative vote of some that simply argue that it is only for some hewn rocks that probably created by some natural phenomena. The Professor believes (and can support his beliefs with scientific evidence) This megalithic formations that have been modified by humans. At the end of this ancient monument there is a large rock with shaped like oval that sits on top of an angular basis. The peak of this cliff shows North. There are a number of those who believe that this construction was used to indicate the time of day! Something like a sundial!

Professor Kimura thinks that whoever is responsible for the formulation of this construction (because of the scientific findings and studies it seems that there once was a solid rock and the whole shape skalistike on), probably long before they start to use tools made of metal, introduced wooden wedges wrapped by some form of fabric or herbal product in the holes of the rock. After they used water so that the wood to swell and the rock was cut off. In some parts of this formation, completely straight lines have been etched at the top of the cliff with narrow triangular holes in space 1 each foot that may have introduced wedges.

The Newgrange

Considered to be the oldest and the most famous prehistoric site throughout Ireland. The Newgrange is a tomb built by soil, wood, clay, stone around 3.100 e.g., about 1.000 years before the construction of the pyramids in Egypt.

It consists of a long passage that leads to a cruciform Chamber that apparently was used as a tomb, as they contain stone basins filled with cremated remains. The unique feature of Newgrange is careful and durable design, that has helped the structure to remain completely weatherproof internally. The most surprising though is the way in which he has placed the entrance to the Tomb. Even the winter solstice, the rays of the Sun are indoors and illuminate the floor of the central room of the monument. Archaeologists know that Newgrange was used as a tomb, but the arduous planning needed to ensure the continuous lighting of the Interior of the, create questions that remained unanswered until today.

Cahokia

Cahokia is called an ancient settlement outside of Collinsville, of Illinois. Archaeologists estimate that the city was founded in 650 a.d., and had a complex network of landfills but also sophisticated House architecture. It has been estimated that at its peak, the city had more than 40.000 residents, number that makes it the most densely populated community in America before the arrival of Europeans.

The most notable feature of Cahokia was the 80 mounds, some with a height exceeding the 30 measures, and they were scattered in the area of 2.200 acres. These helped to create a network of squares across the city, and it is believed that important buildings, as the home of the Chief of the village, built on them. Although scientists are constantly discovering new facts about the community of Cohokia, the greatest mystery that persists is whether are ancestors of the breed ' s very extensive Indian and what exactly was it that forced them to flee their homes.

Amphipolis: The civil engineer and architect belie the objector geologist

O k. Lefantzis, and the quintessential expert on issues of soil mechanics, k. Dimitris Englishman, reject the theory of k. Kambouroglou for the statue of the lion
The geologist-Caver and occasional collaborator of excavation in Amphipolis,. Evangelos Kambouroglou, last Saturday claimed that Leon could not be located at the top of the Mound and thus Kasta is not part of the overall monument. The assumption is that the Leo belongs to the Tumulus, that original post was right on top of the, at the discretion of the architect and the basic excavator in Amphipolis, k. Michael Lefantzi, proven beyond doubt by number of items.

Mr. Not convinced by the kambouroglou proofs k. Lefantzi and insists that the whopping scale statue of the lion could not, for purely technical reasons, be located at the top, If Mr. The Tumulus Kasta kambouroglou of Amphipolis in fact has never been a tumulus but a natural Hill. And even with such texture soils that would be impossible to lift the weight of such a large statue, which together with the pedestal it is estimated that weighs approximately 1.500 tons.

However, Speaking at protothema.gr, both Mr. Lefantzis, and the quintessential expert on issues of soil mechanics, the engineer of the monument of Amphipolis,. Dimitris Englishman, reject the theory of k. Kambouroglou. Specific, Mr. Englishman says that the Tumulus at the top will bear the burden rather than a, but at least two Lions: "Regarding the possibility of safe mounting of the lion's pedestal on top of the mound the following applies: With very conservative assumptions about the mechanical properties of sand in the tumulus (considering that is a very loose sand) results, for 10 m width and length Foundation 10 m, possibility of mounting at least 3.000 tons with great security. This is an elementary calculation edafomichanikos (3rd year student level Department of civil engineering).

In any case, critical for the foundation soil is the pressure and no weight! -everyone can think of walking in snow with and without skis.

Therefore a load 1.500 tonnes as Leo's can be very comfortable to edrastei in the sand of the mound, for the estimated architectural geometry of the podium».

And Mr. Lefantzis complements: "The late Dimitrios Lazaridis launched the excavation sections at the top of the mound Kasta, removed 12 until 15 destruction measures in an extensive area around the Burial Mark, to find ' natural’ the level ground of numerous small graves proϋpirxan lens in gilofo, before the filling of several measures taken at sites for the construction of the periteichismenoy mound. Removing a large amount of artificial backfill in which he acknowledged as a empeirotatos archaeologist the stratigraphy, featured very properly, the monument as tumulus.

Regardless of the ' quantitative’ proportion of destruction compared to the natural’ gilofo even before the completion of geotechnical investigation, the whole is morphological, a tumulus and any other determination would relate to weird games with words.

The Summit was the construction of Foundation and Foundation, should be katachwmeno. It was a box of soil/shoe in which the overlying edraze construction. Latypis marble tones found around this within the backfill, indicate the existence of a marble edifice. It is clear that an experienced mechanic can accurately calculate if may bring a ' box’ soil weight of sculpture».

Myths of Amphipolis

Amphipolis in the spotlight because of the mound on the Hill Kasta.

Who knows what drama, What violence carries inside of this monument of ... is building that houses death and, rather, Royal betrayals.

Though the site of Amphipolis from ancient times supplied legends full of blood and sadness because of the particular magic of.

Blame the strategic location of; The fortified port of; The gold that covers her feet;

However, near Amphipolis, the ancients placed the Nysio Field, renowned in antiquity for his horses. There the Pluto found the daughter of Demeter, Persephone and the kidnapped in order to make her Queen of the underworld.

As stated in another myth, the son of the hero Theseus, the Demophon, After the Trojan war he chose for his beautiful bride Fyllis, as a result her father and King of Hedoni, Sithwnas, anointed him his successor – the Kingdom of Thracian sex was a major commercial and economic station Amphipolis.

The Minotaur however had to turn quickly in Athens and before leaving, vowed to return that quickly Fyllis. Fyllis the xeprobodise at The Nine Streets (the later Amphipolis), they gave him a box, which should not be opened except when I lose hope that it will xanagyrize near the. The Minotaur was unable to reach quickly in Athens, Since leaving, a tempest that swept away in Cyprus; then opened the box. At the same time, fyllis asked on Nine routes and, desperate and convinced that the betrayed, hanged himself from a tree. Since, He says the myth, all the trees of the region shed their leaves in mourning for the death of the young Princess.

However, Mythology says that another Idwnos King had no happy ending. A God who was worshipped particularly in the Kingdom was the Dionysos· even historians indicate that the Dionysian cult started from Amphipolis, that in honor of cut silver coins with one of the most traditional symbols of: the Sphinx. Dionysus, well, decided to honor Idwnoys and traveled up the Thraki, meeting with Lycurgus, their King.

But the Lycurgus made the mistake of insulting him and banish him. God took refuge in Thetis and chastised the Lycurgus helps the. King, insane now, killed the son of the Dryanta, cutting him with axe, because the passed for vine grapes; that moment of anguish rediscovered his mind. Yet, Dionysus did not stop here.

The Earth was once wasteland, with God gives Oracle that would become again fruitful only if the Edoni kill Lycurgus. Indeed, those carrying their King tied hand and foot to Pangeo and condemned to horrible death: the left to katasparachthei alive by wild horses.

Damn Pangeo and Nine roads for the Royal family ...

But why "nine Streets"; Why thus christened Amphipolis;

It took its name from the nine streets that were in "this from different directions, katastwntas the crossroads of Commerce and travelers. Yet, what the name of it caused great evil:

The 492 e.g. when campaigned the Mardonius against Greece's fleet was destroyed in the Athos Peninsular, the army was decimated with blitz in Bisaltia. In the great campaign of Xerxes the 480 e.g., constructed victualling warehouses of the Persian army at the mouth of the Strymon, and also set up two large bridges. Before you pass the army of Xerxes, the Persian General fearing not suffered the evils of Mardonioy decided to offer sacrifice to the gods of, According to Herodotus; so, buried alive nine young men and nine new from Amphipolis, symbolically enarmonizomenos with the name of the city.

The present name was given when the Athenians settled the 437 e.g.. THE Thucydides the returns in the way that the city is built so that it is both coastal and continental station; probably is right, as his father was a native of Thrace and even quite rich, being an owner in the overflow area.

The story revealed the ruins of Byzantine Anaktoropolis

Archaeologists have clear evidence for the existence of Antiquities in the subsoil

Archaeologists have clear evidence for the existence of Antiquities in the subsoil and most importantly of all it seems is the Episcopal Church of the village of Castle, and residences, several buildings and barracks.

It is one of the most important archaeological sites on the western edge of regional Unity Kavalas, dating back from the 7th b.c.. century and refers to Homer and later in Thucydides. The restoration of the Castle joined in an ambitious programme of the 6th antiquity Conservancy Kavalas, that is expected to change the overall picture of the monument, that for centuries dominated the top of the Hill of Brasidas in seaside settlement of NEA Peramos.

The Director of the Inspectorate of Antiquities Kavalas Stavroula Dadadi, statements of, indicated that the relevant contract with Professor Grigori Tsoka will be signed in March while the results of observation will occur near Easter. Referring to the work carried out on the monument, Ms. Dadaki underlined that progressing at a satisfactory pace, as it has done the West and North side of the Castle. "At the moment we are working on the East side and within the next month we will pass on the South side, in order to complete the restoration work of the fortification wall. Then, the remaining configuration tasks will be inside the Castle "noted the Director of the Inspectorate of Antiquities Kavalas.

Rehabilitation project with a budget in 1.800.000 Euro

The task of restoring Anaktoropolis has completed about five years schedule and its budget amounts to 1.800.000 Euro, While total employed for this purpose 14 people.
In the design of the archaeologists of the Inspectorate of Antiquities Kavalas projected to restored all dangerous parts of the fortification and formed a path, from the entrance of the Castle until a point.

Ambition of archaeologists is to complete tasks within the Anaktoropolis and created a cultural space outside the castle for hosting a variety of artistic and cultural events, Thus the needs that existed for open spaces from the local authorities and in this case the municipality of Pageos, Administrative and geographical boundaries of which owns the NEA Peramos.

Birthplace of the great Kastianeiras

The Byzantine Anaktaropolis succeeded the ancient city Kavala northeast of the Byzantine fortress, that Homer is referred to as the birthplace of the great Kastianeiras, woman of the King of Troy Priamoy, from the marriage which was born the Gargythiwn, whom the King murdered Archer Teikros, brother of Aias. the Acropolis of Oisymis was surrounded with walls made of local granite and rose to the top of temple dedicated, probably, to the worship of the goddess Athena. The existence of this Holy dates as early as the archaic years (8the-6th BC. αι.). The archaic temple was destroyed at the beginning of the 5th b.c.. century and in its place was built later that was retained as the 2nd b.c.. century. The remains of the walls and of the Temple of the city are divided up today.

Anaktaropolis

In medieval times and in the low Hill northeast of Oisymis, developed a new town with the name Anaktaropolis.
The Anaktoropolis erected walls between the 1167 and 1170 from the Commander of the Byzantine fleet Grand Duke, Andronikos Kontostefano, as an inscription testifies that survives on the south wall. The fortress of Anaktoropolis apparently was a naval base, tasked with protecting the northern Aegean coast from pirates and marauders.

Hersonissos Brasidas

The site of the ancient Oisymis and later Byzantine Anaktoropolis connected inextricably with the name of the great General of ancient Sparta, of Brasidas, that acted during the Peloponnesian War and distinguished himself for his skills strategies. According to historical sources, in April 422 e.g., Athens and Sparta, the truce ended and next summer the Athenians were preparing to attack Amphipolis. The Brasidas realized their intentions immediately, and surprised them with sudden attack. The Athenians suffered debacle, but the Spartans were killed only seven people, one of them was Brasidas, who was buried at Amphipolis with values.

The site was killed by Brasidas is a verdant peninsula, adjacent to the ruins of ancient Oisymis, in which the inhabitants, the later years, they gave the name of the Spartan General: Brasidas ' peninsula '. So, they kept alive a bit of history of the Peloponnesian War that took place in northern Greece. Today, the "peninsula of Brasidas ' is marked as archaeological site, featuring unparalleled natural beauty and wonderful beaches.naftemporiki.gr

"Woman of the year" by Ms. Peristeri!

Can the work of archaeological excavation in Amphipolis through intense questioning, After from many sides listed several theories for what eventually happened to the tumulus of Kasta, However there are still people who believe the archaeologist Caterina Peristeri heroine.

For this and the head of the Ephorate of Antiquities located in Serres are expected to be honored by the city of Lykeio Ellinidon Macedonian with the title of "Woman of the year" this coming Sunday is notoriously day devoted to the fair sex.

The event will be on 11:30 in Hope resort
