Organized archaeological areas with sequence phases of buildings and monumental architectural monuments like in the archaeological area of Makrigianni (included the important architectural findings that have been recently destroyed in the yellow zone) need special care and protection. Generally in the archaeological science the importance of the archaeological are in defined by the preservation of sequence phases of buildings that are showing the continuous usage of the area in the centuries. According to the exchavations in the area of Makrigianni during the opening of the metro tunel and recently from the exchavations of A EPKA, the area was an important section of ancient Athens with continuous usage from the prehistoric ages until the 19th century. The scientific importance of the area is based on the discover of well preserved architectural remnants of the Post Roman and Byzantine period for which in older exchavations in athens there were not found satisfied information. Except the sequence of architectural phases particular importance has also the unique shape and the importance of the buildings that have be discovered. (as it's stated from the members of KAS (Central Archaeological Council) at their meeting (47 27/11/2000) The above architectural phases constitute an unquestionable exchibit of the long historical usage of Athens. They constitute the proof of the historical identity and the specific difference of Athens from capitals of other European countries.

The long usage of Athens during the centuries it's a very importance cultural element for the promotion of the historical consciousness and for that reason is an exhibit of outstanding importance that needs absolute preservation and protection. The destruction and the insult of symbols like the marathon an in particular case the are of Makrigianni they not only insulting the character and the physical environment of the monument but they are also mainly turned against history and civilization.

  • Καλή και διαφωτιστική δουλειά για όποιον τη δει, αλλά η αρχική αφήγηση (με τη γυναικεία φωνή) κουράζει και χάνουμε τον ειρμό. Μπράβο, πάντως καλή προσπάθεια!
