Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21Archaeologists have discovered a large ancient weapons production site on the Greek island of Andros, linked to the era of Alexander the Great’s successors. The site, located at Palaeopolis—the island’s ancient capital—contains iron-working slags dating to the 4th century BC, suggesting it was a significant hub for weapon manufacturing during the period when Andros was dominated by Alexander’s successors (circa 337 BC). The findings were published in *Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences* .
The island of Delos, a sacred site in ancient Greece, was historically associated with Apollo and held such religious significance that birth and death were forbidden there. The Greeks considered human life ritually impure in sacred spaces, making Delos a unique sanctuary where no one was permitted to be born or die . While not directly tied to Andros, Delos’ connection to Apollo underscores the broader cultural and religious context of Apollo’s worship in the Aegean region.
