The Temple of Aphrodite To Be Covered

This really burned me up when I heard about this. Back in 2000 workers tearing down an old building found a temple to Aphrodite, the goddess of Love. Today, on Facebook, I've found out that the temple will be covered by a new apartment building. WTF is going on with the Greek government? Oh, I forgot, it's pagan so it needs to be covered and filled with glorious followers of the Greek Orthodox church.Give me a damn break, really! I'll copy and past this so that you can read it, which does a much better job than I do.

Local residents of Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, are outraged by a decision to build an apartment block on top of a recently discovered ancient temple in the heart of the city. The temple of the goddess Aphrodite which was brought to Thessaloniki from the city Aineia, in the 6th century B.C. is said to be priceless in value.

The temple lies in an area called Dioikitirio (administrative center). In Roman times the area was known as the Square of the Sacred Ones as most of the city's temples were concentrated there.

The ancient Greek temple was brought to light in 2000 after the demolition of a two-story building. The archeologists found the eastern part of the krepis of the temple, statues of Greek and Roman times and numerous fragments of architectural parts.

While most of the temple remains in Dioikitirio, some parts including the columns of the temple, as well as many of the other remains are currently being exhibited in the Archaeological Museum in Thessaloniki.

According to the school of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Antigonidon square can be reformed in two levels, so the temple would be rebuilt and be visible in its entirety


Now you have a good idea why this is not going to happen. Who want the church to think that anything important, like this, should be saved.
