Work to lay natural gas pipelines near the foot of the Acropolis has uncovered an ancient marble statue of a young man buried almost upright in a brick-lined pit.
ATHENS, Greece — Work to lay natural gas pipelines near the foot of the Acropolis has uncovered an ancient marble statue of a young man buried almost upright in a brick-lined pit, Greek officials said Monday.
The ministry said the statue is in “quite good condition.” It appears to lack its head, and to have been cracked along the torso in ancient times. The ministry didn’t provide an exact date for the work, but suggested it could be a Roman-era copy of a fifth century B.C. original.
