This season of the documentary series "Stone 'n Time" features a particularly well-chosen thematic selection.
It respectfully approaches the profound historical continuity of the places and people who experience their homeland.
Topics such as the Old Parliament, Thiseio in the heart of ancient Athens, which remains an enchanting neighborhood even today, the significant but little-known ancient city of Kynos in Livanates, the Kamena Vourla with its magnificent old leisure hotels that are now almost in ruins, Doxtato with its neoclassical architectural masterpieces in Macedonia, and other subjects provide a deeper and more substantial meaning to this new season of documentaries, which always pioneers in the choice of topics and even more so in their aesthetic and qualitative portrayal.
Today:
«Cynus»
Episode 4
At the edge of Livanates is the Homeric Kynos. An archaeological site where ruins of the ancient settlement of the same name and an important port of Lócrida Opuntia were found. This long-standing use of the site constitutes one of the most interesting and subversive parameters of the excavation of Kynos, as it is one of the rare cases of a settlement with continuous use up to contemporary times. It is located near the most active seismological area in Greece, the Atalanti fault. Kynos is particularly significant, as it provides us with irrefutable evidence on the evolution of civilisation in central Greece. It had a residential and artisanal character. It had textile factories, warehouses with cereals, vineyards and a variety of game. It had loggers, carpenters, stonecutters and was a famous port from the 12th century BC according to Homer and Strabon.
