A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough.

Many pictures ahead. 

Fair warning for everyone ^^

Going back on calendar, during August,
me and my family had to travel to my grandma's village some
kilometres away from our summer house. 

This is one of my favourite birds, a beautiful 

black crowned crane and i was so happy when i saw one from close 

( actually 3 of them but this one was following me around, ready to take it's picture! )

Holy or not, i will always be fascinated by them. 

Oh and that is my future house. 

A big 2 stories mansion, very well preserved for it's age, 

with a big yard separated into 3 parts ( frond, back and side ) 

it is surely a place i would live in a heart bit.

Haha the proud future owner :P

Those wooden stairs lead to the second floor 

where you can see this enormous fan and that big window. 

*starring the pictures ready to cry*...

And some history. 

I am not sure how many people know that, wherever you decide to dig up in Greece you will find ruins. Especially in Amphipolis ( very close to my summer house ) where there are so many Greek-Macedonia tombs, monuments, ruins etc etc. The Amphipolis Lion is a gorgeous, big memorial statue found in pieces in 1912. It has been restored and stands next to the old bridge of Strymonas river at the regional street Amphipolis-Serraiki Akti. In 1922 archaeologists found its base, upon which it was restored in 1936. It dates from the 4th century BC. In August 1916, British soldiers who were building fortifications at the bridge of Amphipolis found the marble parts of the lion and tried to transport them to the shore, in order to smuggle them to England. According to historians and archaeologists, the face of the Lion, which has always been a sacred symbol of Macedonians, was looking towards the city, thus expressing the importance and glory of it. Furthermore, according to a legend, its sculptor (whose identity is unknown), after finishing his work, which was also the peak of his career, faced an unpleasant surprise. The Lion missed its tongue. In desperation, the sculptor threw the Lion to the Strymonas river, so that no one would see it.

As i informed by my dad that day, archaeologists found a "new" Macedonian - Greek tomb.
No surprise here. They have done an amazing work in Amphipolis by discovering many treasures over the years and i will only pray that government will support them financially. I get the chills whenever i see ancient ruins.

New entry (2014) ; Apparently now they know (not 100% of course) where it stood.
