4th BC Century Defensive Wall Unearthed

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.'"

Meanwhile, on the Greek island of Crete

Archeologists working in Aptera, a walled fortress city on the island of Crete, have recently announced the discovery of a very unusual, and very intact, tomb just outside the city. I visited Crete last year and took some pictures at the site - some pretty amazing detail. Then there's the hitchhiker who found and returned a 6500 y.o. gold pendant to the Greek authorities recently, she wanted no reward, and preferred to remain anonymous...

I couldnt think of anything funny to say about this new wall, so I figured I'd post something serious.
