Archaeologists discover ancient Greek temple filled with hidden treasures

Archaeologists have uncovered a temple dating back 2000 years on the Greek island of Evia, filled with gold, silver, and amber.

The 100-foot structure, dating to the 7th century BC, was excavated in 2023 by a team of 50 researchers.

“The excavation of the archaic temple brought to light rich offerings: Corinthian alabaster, attic vases, ritual prochos of local production, as well as jewelry made of precious materials like gold, silver and coral,” Greece’s ministry of culture said.

Inside the temple, several structures were found, believed to have been used as altars by worshippers.

Among the designs, a horseshoe-shaped altar stood out as the most unique, showing signs of steady use through thick layers of ash containing charred bones, the Independent reported.
