Equine Pyxis with #Swastika Motif
Attic Greek, c. 760 – 750 BCE

"The most notable evidence of the use of the swastika is at Hisarlik most commonly known as the site of the city of Troy, where swastikas were found by Schliemann decorated upon ‘spindle whorls’ (Schliemann 1881: 350; D’Alviella 1894: 60). While it appears somewhat in the Classical and Hellenistic periods, we find a large amount in Archaic Greece."
— Socrates Exarchopoulos (2019)

🔴 A few days ago the Italian Coast Guard "recued" a boat with 280 illegal immigrants that was heading towards Italy. As usual, the passengers of the boat are mostly young men

🔴 Two pakistanis beat another pakistani and robbed him inside his house in Kalivia, Crete.

🔸 According to the reports, the two perpetrators of Pakistani origin broke into another Pakistani's residence at night. They proceeded to beat him unconscious and then searched his house for cash and his visa documents. The victim was taken to the hospital

🟢 The pakistani community in Greece causes far more harm than good, despite all the stores owned by them which provide services that anyone could provide and many Greek stores already did and also despite all the countryside work at farms that some of them perform, the crimes committed by pakistanis against both other immigrants and Greeks, more notably rape, assault and murder are an extremely heavy burden to carry when European law does not allow long prison sentences and true punishment of criminals

🟢 Just another display of civility by the people who have been accepted into Europe and will most likely not leave peacefully. There is only one way to solve the problem, closed camps, long term policies and integration are not it

‼️⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️‼️

🔴 NGO "Alarm Phone", one of the many NGOs being investigated on a massive espionage case against several NGOs made a video instructing illegal immigrants to cross the border between Greece and Turkey with various details

/GBG/

🟢 Such videos are made in several languages and are directed to several different areas, instructing illegal immigrants how to reach countries like Spain, Italy and Greece

🟢 The video also counts with the average fake propaganda that Greek authorities have put illegal immigrants inside boats and sent them back to Turkey after reaching Greece, which sadly is not true but is used by the left as an argument and the claims made by NGOs without any proof are always used as a source, something that has reached newspapers, developed into court cases and will most likely be on school books in a near future

Malia Bee Pendant, Minoan Civilization, 1800 BC - 1700BC

This pendant dates back to the Bronze Age, to the Protopalatial Period (1800 - 1700 BC) and it's an amazing, very detailed representation of two bees carrying a drop of honey to their honeycomb.

Bees have a symbolic and important connotation in many cultures worldwide. Bees were very important in the Minoan, matriarchal civilization. It is believed that the Great Mother of Mother Goddess was related to bees, while honey was used in rituals. As a symbol of the Mother Goddess, bees represent the mutual support and fertility.

Later on, Greek Goddess priestesses were called melissae (bees) and bees were associated with Demeter and Artemis.

🔴 Turkey keeps using the deaths of illegal immigrants (that they should have prevented from reaching European borders) as a way to pressure Greece and Brussels

🔸 The latest provocative statements of Turkish President Erdogan, who blamed Greece for the death of 12 illegal immigrants on the Greek-Turkish border. All this at the same time as the Turkish government continues to allow the undisturbed operation of smuggling networks on the coasts of Asia Minor and Evros

🔸 In the last few hours, Ankara has been exploiting the tragic death of 12 migrants , according to what it has announced and supported, in Ypsala near the Kipi border station . The pro-government Yeni safak, entitled: "Europe is a partner in the massacre: The number of migrants who froze to death on the Greek border has reached 19", raises the victims to 19, blaming Greece and the EU. for "brutal" border situations with migrant victims from Asian and African countries seeking better fortunes in Europe

“Horses of Saint Mark.” Medium: Bronze. Attributed to the Greek sculptor Lysippos, 4th century BC. Venice, Basilica of St. Mark.

They were still there in 1204, when they were looted by Venetian forces as part of the sack of the capital of the Byzantine Empire in the Fourth Crusade. The collars on the four horses were added in 1204 to obscure where the animals' heads had been severed to allow them to be transported from Constantinople to Venice.⁣
