A hidden trove of ancient artifacts, dating from Greece's Geometric period (1100-750 BC) to the Hellenistic era (up to 31 BC), was discovered in a vacated Athens store earlier this year. The cache, packed in boxes wrapped with 1940s newspapers, included over 3,000 items, ranging from ancient coins and vessels to post-Byzantine religious artifacts. The find highlights Athens' rich historical layers and underscores the importance of preserving and studying cultural heritage.
