Join us on the 17th & the 18th of August 2022, for a zine exhibition (all zines added to the archive from August 2021 until now, approximately 120 editions) at our beloved island of Sikinos. 

The exhibition is supported by the Municipality of Sikinos and will be held from 7pm to 10pm at the yard of the old school, Kastro. 

Grave robbers had about 1,800 years to steal the precious gold jewelry buried with a noblewoman on the Greek island of Sikinos. So, what allowed the noblewoman — named Νεικώ (Neko), according to a Greek inscription on her grave — to rest in peace for so long?

She had an exceptionally well-hidden grave, which Greek archaeologists just recently discovered, archaeologists said.

Grave robbers hit other ancient burials on Sikinos, which is part of the Cyclades island group. But they missed Neko's grave because it's concealed in a blind spot between two walls in the basement of a Byzantine church and a monastery, Demetrios Athanasoulis, director of the antiquities department (or ephorate) for the Cyclades, told Reuters.
