Groundbreaking Bronze Age Archaeological Discoveries on Island of Keros, Greece
The Greek Ministry of Culture issued a statement on Holy Thursday announcing the recent conclusion of a four-year archaeological excavation which took place on the Greek islands of Keros and Dascalio in the Cyclades.
Excavations took place in the area called Kavos on Keros, and on the islet of Dascalio, which was physically connected to Keros in antiquity.
The major findings unveiled a complex system of tubes used to keep sea water out of the settlement, as well as many buildings and other structures which date back to the early Bronze Age, between 2750 and 2550 BC.
The archaeologists were astonished with the findings, as they prove the existence of a highly-developed civilization in the area, which was completely unknown to the scientific community before the excavation.

Having just done a cycling tour of the Cyclades (where else?), I took the opportunity to visit the archaeological museum on Kea. This museum has some amazing artifacts of the civilization that existed in these islands and clearly shows how advanced they were.
