Archaeologist Haralambos Makaronas, head of the Pella dig, believes the columns belong to the 5th century B.C. temple dedicated to Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, of which Roman Historian Livy speaks...

Mellaart treated every crum bling bit of dirt as a hard-to-read book, and after three years of diligent scratching through the 32-acre mound called Qatal Hiiyiik, he is now piecing together the story of a city that flourished at least 3,000 years before the first Pharaoh ruled in Egypt...
