GREEK FARMER SAW A 4-FOOT-WIDE HOLE AT HIS FARM, EXPLORING THE DEPTH REVEALS AN UNUSUAL FIND

By Shruti

We grow up listening to stories of hidden riches, pirate maps and their tales of adventures. These stories are intriguing but for the most part that’s all they are, stories. Because those who go seeking for treasures usually end up empty-handed. At the same time, some people don’t go seeking for it anywhere and just happen to stumble upon it out of sheer luck.

It was the summer of 2018 when a greek farmer discovered an unusual hole in his land. Unusual, because the land collapsed, on its own, into what seemed like endless hollow space. The farmer realized that he needed to call in archaeological experts who could take a look at what is inside it. Nobody could have suspected what they were about to discover.

The Farm

This story began when a farmer, witnessed something unusual on his farm on a warm afternoon at Kentri, a small village on the island of Crete. The man has been the proud owner of this farm for more than ten years now. His dad bought it all those years ago and from him, it was passed on to his son. Farming has been a primary source of income for his family for years now. In fact, farming was a part of ancient Greece.
