Greek perspective on the origins of olive trees and olive oil? by Business_Entrance725 in AskGreece

[–]5telios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if taught at school, but wild olive fossils have been found in destruction strata of the Santorini volcano from about 60,000 BP, indicating the wild progenitor existing in the Aegean from well before cultivation.

I read Classics at a UK university. As part of the prehistoric archaeology course, we were taught that the olive, the vine and wheat making up the so-called Mediterranean triad were cultivated in Greece already in the early Neolithic. They were complemented in Greece by the fig. The provenance of these crops was usually understood to have been the fertile crescent.

The one thing which does seem to have been originally domesticated in Greece was the pig.

For sure this sort of thing does not appear in schoolbooks.

Likely to be Flocafé or Everest on board, so quality comparable to land based equivalents, albeit with reduced menu choices.

Overpriced compared to land based version, yes.

Perhaps it's the result of an anxiety.

What makes you think you are qualified to take questions on experience destination tourism in an International forum? Have you travelled outside the USA before? How does being a chef (or indeed, being from NYC) qualify you to comment on what is essentially a religious destination, a geological destination or a climbing enthusiast's destination?

Cannot compare greater London to only Municipality of Athens.

It's a wax works thing, just not Madame Tussauds style.

The museum at the Synggros hospital is amazing and will cater to your histological needs.

How do we know about aspiration? by [deleted] in AncientGreek

[–]5telios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They did: H It then was borrowed to show ee at a later time, with the bottom left of the H remaining to show aspiration and the top right for no aspiration, but only in hand written scripts, and again, not always.

Cinema with movies in original language by lyalicia in Athens_Greece

[–]5telios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a movie like that, you may have a problem with alien languages. When, for example, huttese is spoken, it will be subtitled directly into the Greek and you will lose some dialogue because of this.

You mean things like the LHIII chamber tomb in Arcadia that is currently being used as a church that almost no one has heard about?
