Breaking News: Drone Footage Shows Sunken Greek Village Re-Emerge from Lake
Date: March 10, 2023
Location: Western Greece, Greece
In a stunning discovery, a drone has captured footage of a sunken Greek village re-emerging from the depths of a lake in western Greece. The ancient village, which was submerged underwater for centuries, has slowly begun to resurface due to a combination of natural erosion and human efforts to restore the lake’s ecosystem.
Drone Footage Reveals the Discovery
The drone footage, taken by a team of archaeologists and environmental scientists, shows the once-submerged village of Aliakmonas slowly re-emerging from the waters of Lake Mikri Prespa. The village, which dates back to the 14th century, was flooded in the 1950s when the lake’s water level was raised to create a hydroelectric dam.
The footage reveals the remains of ancient buildings, including homes, churches, and other structures, slowly rising out of the water. The team has been monitoring the lake’s water level and the village’s re-emergence for several months, and they are thrilled with the progress they have made.
Restoration Efforts Underway
The team is working with local authorities and environmental organizations to restore the village and the surrounding ecosystem. The goal is to create a protected area that will preserve the village’s history and cultural significance while also promoting eco-tourism in the region.
"We are thrilled to see the village re-emerging from the lake," said Dr. Maria Papadopoulos, a leading archaeologist on the project. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a piece of Greece’s rich history and cultural heritage."
