An archaeological site showing us life 6,000 years ago!
阿克罗帝利考古遗址的点评
点评：We visited the Akrotiri Archaeological Excavation Site in December.
We had a hard time locating the entrance (we went there on our own) as the signage for this place was so small that we missed it the first time.
It was fascinating to see evidence uncovered by the archaeological team, that the Akrotiri site had been occupied by humans as far back as the Neolithic Age (4,500 BC)!
This is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean and Greece.
Akrotiri grew from a small fishing, farming village to an important trading centre. It was a major centre in the trading of copper due to its strategic position between Cyprus and Minoan Crete.
From the pottery, vessels and wall murals we could see that Akrotiri residents enjoyed a high standard of living. Their artistic skills and talents as seen through the vessels were truly impressive. The wall murals depicted nature, religion and gave us a glimpse into their everyday life.
Sadly, a powerful volcanic eruption in 1613 BC and a major earthquake buried the town under volcanic ash. But thankfully the volcanic ash had actually helped preserved the settlement and the many artefacts, which are now being displayed in museums.
The excavation site is like an indoor museum. It is covered with a bio-climatic roof to protect the artefacts from the elements. We walked on timber boardwalks to view the display below us.
It was low season when we were there on a December afternoon. I noticed that there were just two other couples besides us, so the whole place was really quiet and peaceful.
I still could not believe that what we saw were 6,000 years old. 😅

翻译：我们于 12 月参观了阿克罗蒂里考古发掘现场。
我们很难找到入口（我们是自己去的），因为这个地方的标牌太小了，我们第一次就错过了。
考古队发现的证据令人着迷，阿克罗蒂里遗址早在新石器时代（公元前 4,500 年）就被人类占据！
这是爱琴海和希腊最重要的考古遗址之一。
阿克罗蒂里从一个小渔村、农业村发展成为一个重要的贸易中心。由于它位于塞浦路斯和米诺斯克里特岛之间的战略位置，它是铜贸易的主要中心。
从陶器、器皿和壁画中我们可以看到阿克罗蒂里居民的生活水平很高。从器皿中可以看到他们的艺术技巧和才华确实令人印象深刻。壁画描绘了自然、宗教，让我们一窥他们的日常生活。
不幸的是，公元前 1613 年的一次强烈火山喷发和一次大地震将这座城镇掩埋在火山灰之下。但值得庆幸的是，火山灰实际上帮助保存了定居点和许多文物，现在这些文物正在博物馆展出。
发掘现场就像一个室内博物馆。它被一个生物气候屋顶覆盖，以保护文物免受风吹雨淋。我们走在木板路上观看下面的展览。
十二月的一个下午，我们去那里的时候正值淡季。我注意到除了我们之外只有两对夫妇，所以整个地方真的很安静祥和。
我仍然不敢相信我们看到的东西有 6000 年的历史。😅
