An important grave - possibly - perhaps one for your GGG list.
Huh. I wonder who’s buried there?
Very kewl if it really is. Great man for sure.
IF true.
The thing is that most tourists to Greece....don’t stop off at Thessaloniki. It is one of the major hubs of Greece....a decent airport, and probably forty flights a day. It is one of the major cities of the country (380,000 residents).
This might generate some more tourist interest in the region. If you were looking for pretty hilly areas....this is it.
And she said,I see the gods upon the mountain
She said, but I just can't seem to please them
She said, ‘cause they only send confusion
She said, I think I've lost my mind
She said I like to go to picture shows
and wish myself upon the screen
and what a wonderful illusion
I stole the show in every scene
And she said, you know I've talked with Aristotle
She said, and we even shared a bottle
She said, but he turned out to be awful
She said, I think I've lost my mind
And she said, I'm a myth that's slowly dying
She said, and it's not through lack of trying
She said, Aphrodite's softly crying
She said, I think I've lost my mind
Sadly there is a history in archeology of making big claims in order to generate publicity and raise money.
I’m still not sure what he is basing his conclusions on. Just because they found an altar? Well, ok? It could just be a temple for his followers to pay homage. I think other Greek figures have had similar.
He could have easily been cremated.
Yet, it's taken 26 years to excavate this much of it. Amazing how continued grant and donation money can slow things down.
Aristotle died in Chalcis on the island of Euboea. I don’t know if there is ancient evidence for where he was buried.
