the-moika-palace: ANCIENT MYCENAEAN PALACE UNEARTHED IN GREECE NEAR SPARTA An ancient palace believed to date back to the Mycenaean civilization has been unearthed in southern Greece. The 10-room Aghios Vassileios complex is thought to have been built between the 17th and 16th centuries BC and was discovered near the ancient village of Xirokambi, close to where the warrior society of Sparta existed, the country’s Culture Ministry announced. It is believed the palace was destroyed in a fire in the late 14th or early 15th century BC, UPI writes. Religious icons and items of worship which survived the blaze have been found on the site.
