Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy.<br /> Planning for an archaeological museum began with the founding of the Kingdom of Greece. Once financing was secured, construction began in 1866. The main building was inaugurated in 1874, followed by the two side wings in 1881 and 1885.<br /> <br /> In 2009, the museum was expanded by approximately 24,000 m² of exhibition space, allowing it to display over 2,000 additional ancient exhibits. The about 11,000 objects on display come from all regions of Greece, as all important finds were brought exclusively there until the 20th century, so it is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and contains the richest collection of Greek Antiquity artifacts worldwide. <br /> <br /> Sauce boats<br /> <br /> Its characteristic elongated shape, featuring a spout that tapers to a point, is reminiscent of a boat, so the word &quot;sauce boat&quot; is commonly used in archaeology. <br /> <br /> Early Cycladic II period, 2800–2300 BC<br /> <br /> -----<br /> Ancient Cycladic Art<br /> <a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/album/1378110" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/album/1378110</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/zc123/">chazheng</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/zc123/55556909709/" title="_MG_6204"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556909709_410cfa7988_m.jpg" width="240" height="165" alt="_MG_6204" /></a></p> <p>The historic old town of Nafplio, a scenic coastal city in the Peloponnese region of Greece</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pelicommedia/">pelicommedia</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelicommedia/55556486534/" title="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7404"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556486534_d40380088d_m.jpg" width="213" height="240" alt="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7404" /></a></p> <p>ESC 2026 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOTGUN</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pelicommedia/">pelicommedia</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelicommedia/55556420628/" title="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7383"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556420628_4e9cd3e4eb_m.jpg" width="240" height="159" alt="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7383" /></a></p> <p>ESC 2026 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOTGUN</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pelicommedia/">pelicommedia</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelicommedia/55556713650/" title="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7416"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556713650_39410b9022_m.jpg" width="240" height="175" alt="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7416" /></a></p> <p>ESC 2026 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOTGUN</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/maistora/">Мaistora</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/maistora/55556269041/" title="Just rocks"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556269041_bcfb9e9a88_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Just rocks" /></a></p> <p>and Mediterranean crystal in shades of emerald and turquoise (a tryptich)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pelicommedia/">pelicommedia</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelicommedia/55556392489/" title="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7273"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55556392489_4c1a6a8a85_m.jpg" width="240" height="158" alt="HSz_2026_ESC_SHOTGUN_ATHENS_0928-7273" /></a></p> <p>ESC 2026 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOTGUN</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/martin-m-miles/">Martin M.
