Diolkos update - January 2010

I am writing again after quite some time to give you news of the ANCIENT DIOLKOS, the Greek monument of 600 BC that has been left to decay since its excavation (~1960).

International ridicule and Justice investigations have finally induced the Greek Ministry of Culture to some movimentation. In 2009, some elementary protection work has been done at two erosion fronts.



But the rest of the exposed Diolkos is still deteriorating, as you can see in a recent video, at YouTube - sofiagreek's Channel

I invite you to watch this short video and, in case you haven't done so already, please sign the petition

Although "authorities" say they "will" take care of Diolkos, the monument was falling down for 50 years under false assertions of care (!!!). This shows that they cannot be trusted and that more pressure is needed...
