A team of archaeologists got quite the surprise when they were digging at a well-established Mycenaean site in Greece located south of Athens. While performing excavations near Thorikos, the researchers from the University of Göttingen in Germany unearthed the ruins of a large house dating back to the 9th or 10th centuries BC - the Greek Iron Age. #Archaeology #Greece #Thorikos #IronAge #House

How climate change is causing 'mega-fires' and forcing people to migrate in Portugal.

The country is used to forest fires. But the one that hit Pedrógão Grande six years ago was the first of its kind in Europe, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Extreme, uncontrollable and lethal.

A type of fire that was repeated again that same year in Portugal and Spain, and a year later in Greece.

You have not only broke them out of the Parthenon
But from the history of all mankind

From the history of mankind that your #britishMuseum is supposed to represent

What do you tell your museum visitors?
What history?

You want to understand them?
You can feel them?
You love them?

You can't

Because we cry for them, not you

You just don't want to lose the flagships of your museum

#greece #history #betterworld #sendthemhome #givethemavoice #hope #writing #love #humanity #mankind #parthenon

I BEG YOU

Send them home at last
Have you no heart at all?

You said we can't present them well
We built the Acropolis Museum

You claim we don't take care of them
You scrubbed them with steel brushes.

You claim you acquired it legally
One occupying power does not have the right to control another's historical artifacts

But you were the ones who brutally broke them out of the Parthenon

Your excuses are no longer believed

Wahl in Griechenland: Widerstand auf der Straße statt an den Wahlurnen

The victory of dynastic, neoliberal Nea Dimokratia in yesterday's #elections in #Greece was not surprising: the more "progressive" (kinda) parties with any chance at power are either spent (SYRIZA, with its disastrous #politics) or too disorganized (the new PASOK, after long successor wars). Clientism & vague, grandiose promises still reign supreme. #democracy #EU #Europe

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65666261

Woke up with utter, crushing societal disconnect today. In yesterday's elections the neo-liberal party was first by a land slide, despite cutting health, education and welfare budgets the last 4 years. Not to mention constantly privatizing every public service. Or police brutality. Or major scandals.

What the hell is going on in people's brains out there.

#greece

What a left party up against a ruling-class owned media needs is grassroots organisation, movement politics, policies hammered out together, with the skills and knowledge to implement them. They need to radiate the confidence of expertise, not grandiosity - and they need the people’s trust. #Greece #elections

A small selection of the pictures from Sunday's dive near Ammouliani with @vivia. First dive of the year but it was already surprisingly warm! 23°C and sunny, 18°C surface water temperature and still 16°C at 25m depth. We saw a lot of interesting animals.

Featuring: a yellow nudibranch (phyllidia flava) grazing on seaweed next to red finger sponge, a painted comber swimming on top of rocks covered with some black sponge, a biscuit sea star in a little cave surrounded by colorful sponges, and in the top-left a nudibranch ("sea cow", peltodoris atromaculata) and some yellow sea anemones, and last but not least two starfishes, one red one with five arms and another orange one that once had six arms plus some bonus mermaid's cup at the bottom.

@slomo and I did our first dive of the season last weekend and saw a lot of cute and interesting creatures.

Got a new Olympus Tough TG-6 camera, still learning how it works. Had to edit especially the landscape pictures, because they were accidentally shot with the shallow water mode on, but I'm quite happy with how the macro pictures turned out, especially for a new camera. Used @darktable for editing.

The Greek government has announced a $15.4 million project to make its beaches more accessible. The country's tourism minister, Vassilis Kikilias, described equal access to the sea as an "inalienable human right" when he announced the program. Its centrepiece is a solar-powered ramp with a sliding chair that can move beach-goers into the water and can be independently operated by wheelchair users.

To put my money (and time and effort) where my mouth is, I have now booked our family summer vacation 🏝️ without car or air travel. We're going from Vienna 🇦🇹 to Greece 🇬🇷 by train and ferry, with transfers on public transit busses! It's 1.5 days one way instead of a few hours by air.

Last year we went to Italy, which is much closer. Greece is the next level challenge from here.

What I noticed so far:

There are way too few connections. I should really have booked earlier, but overall there just are magnitudes more seats on airplanes to/from Greece than cabins on the ferries and sleeper compartments on trains. Many ferries and trains do not run daily even in the top summer season.

There are very few travel agencies for this kind of trip. I found none for Austria, and one specialized for Switzerland. When I book everything separately, I carry the full risk in case of a missed connection.

Many ferries are car/camper ferries. There is an impressive multitude of services and a whole culture around travelling with your own (rented) vehicle that has grown and matured over decades. I wonder how that will change?

BTW, I really loved air travel. But I understand we have to do everything we can.
