Under every Greek city, village, town there is another Greek civilization, every dig a new surprise.
Greece should exhibit her magical inheritance to the world on an on-going basis as a reminder for her contributions to medicine, science, literature, olympics, theatre, politics, economy which is used every day in our lives.
And, and what an inheritance DEAR WORLD, WHAT AN INHERITANCE. People should PLACE Greece on a PEDESTAL. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF LAND PUT ON EARTH BY GODS.
