The excavators were appalled. They were digging in a flight to Zeus, in Greek mythology the gain of gods and goddesses. From texts in Linear B, an ancient form of Greek lettering, Zeus is attested as a pre-eminent god as hasty as 1400 B.C. By some accounts, the homewards of Zeus was on the heights of Lykaion.
At the rear reviewing the effect of pottery experts, geologists and other archaeologists, David Gilman Romano of the Academic world of Pennsylvania finished that topic at the Lykaion altar "suggests that the tradition of attention to some idol on that quarter is very ancient" and "very workable predates the introduction of Zeus in the Greek world."
As Dr. Romano remarked, quoting a joke by a friend, "We went from B.C. to B.Z., in advance Zeus."
The notice by the Ascend Lykaion Dig up and Research paper Crate was described tolerate week in interviews and a dialect by Dr. Romano at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at Penn. Mary E. Voyatzis, a partition co-director from the Academic world of Arizona, discussed her ordeal of the significant pottery. The project's third co-director is Michaelis Petropoulos of the Greek Archaeological Attack.
