( guys ....your asleep...... C'mon do your job ) Greek subway workers discover ancient tombsATHENS, March 11 (RIA Novosti) - Workers digging a subway in the historic city of Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, have unearthed a massive tomb, filled with ancient treasures, the state archaeological service said. Around 1,000 graves, some of them containing jewels, coins and artworks, were discovered to the east of the city center at the site of a former cemetery. Most of the graves date back from the first century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. Thessaloniki was founded in 315 B.C and is believed to have been named after the sister of Alexander the Great by King Cassander of Macedon. A separate group of 94 graves was also discovered near the railway station at the site of another ancient cemetery in Thessaloniki. The graves range from plain coffins to five-room marble mausoleums. Work on the city's subway system started in 2006 and city officials say the first 13 stations are to be completed by 2012. Similar tombs from the same era were discovered in Athens during excavations in the 1990s prior to the construction of the city's subway station, but were destroyed by workers. Parts of them are now on display in several metro stations. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/10/AR2008031002413.htmlI cant wait for pictures......I know that area of the train station well...across the street is Rex Hotel ;D

This is the part that I like! "Similar tombs from the same era were discovered in Athens" Rex it will probably be hard to get pics. The Ephoria(Government Archaeological Body) would not want looter to rob the graves so photos will probably only be released after the excavations are done. The same occurred in Athens and their Metro. Of course there were a few photos released but only a handfull. I will see if I can get any.

they used to think that they can treat schizophrenia and epilepsia by decompressing the scull. certain soldiers with haematoma of the frontal lobe they changed behaviour and became aggressive.

The tombs were verified recently to be of pelasgian priests
The excavators found a strange inscription inside the coffin, "Αλβανοί έχτισαν το Παρθενών"
