An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo News is reporting that Greek archaeologists have discovered a 2,600 meter defensive wall whose design was 'inspired by Alexander the Great.' In addition to the wall itself 4th-century BC bronze coins were also found inside the structure. From the article: 'The discovery was made in the archaeological site of Dion, an ancient fortified city and key religious sanctuary of the Macedonian civilization, which ruled much of Greece until Roman times.'"

    Walls not firewalls ya heathen. What do they teach you in school these days? The 70s weren't ancient history and Dinosaurs didn't roam the earth in the 60s, except in low budget movies. Of coarse if you are into Intellegent Design they roamed the earth six thousand years ago. Why does Intellegent Design always make me think of Military Intellegence?
