Athens, Greece

     Skyping with Katy, an archeologist, in Athens, Greece. The Corinth Canal didn't become a canal until 1893. Now she is showing us a picture of the Temple of Apollo. The columns are huge. The Peirene Fountain was during the archaic period. Even to this day the tunnels aren't fully explored. It was the main water source until as late as the 1930s, and it is still working. They used decorative lion spouts as gutters long ago. Their museum is really big. They have artifacts relating to ancient religions. The have ancient pottery pots that they find at every famous site, and they have proven that it was made in Corinth. It is called Corinthian Pottery. They dig in April, May, and June each year and find 1000s of artifacts in those months. They don't keep it all though. They have been digging in a mid-evil hospital and church complex.
