Chers amis d'Équateur, Ce qui suit n'a aucun rapport avec l'archéologie équatorienne, mais le patrimoine mondial appartient à tous. Un monument antique de mon pays, la Grèce, est en grand danger, et a besoin de votre aide. Il s'agit de Diolkos, un chemin pavé antique construit aux alentours de 600 a.J.-C., utilisé pour faire traverser les navires par voie terrestre au niveau de l'isthme de Corinthe; sa nature fait son originalité, mais il n'a jamais été protégé depuis les fouilles qui y ont été faites (1956-1962). Dans un effort de sauvetage et de restauration de la structure, nous avons créé une pétition internationale www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/870477005. Nous vous invitons à signer pour protéger ce monument historique. Pour aller plus loin... |

MONEY.
Signing the petition does not mean asking the Greek State to give money that it cannot afford for restoring the monument. The protection of the monument should have been presented for funding (with European Union contribution or other similar projects) LONG AGO. Unfortunately, by not having even the most elementary information about the monument, the services in charge were KEEPING THEMSELVES UNPREPARED even to ASK for funding…
WHY SPEAK UP...
The monument is not a property OWNED by people that are free to destroy it. Unfortunately, this is what has happened up to now. This petition says that we want this to stop. The Diolkos is a common heritage of mankind (as many other monuments and sites all over the world).
IS THE PETITION JUST A PLEA?
No, it is more dynamic that that. The Prime Minister’s Office is being often notified about the progress and knows that many people from many countries know of the problem. Consequently, the Diolkos cannot be left to decay in silence (as was the situation up to now).
INFORMATION GIVEN
The information given at the petition site cannot cover 45 years of neglect and destruction. It would be too long (and maybe also very shocking). If anybody feels like having more information, I will be glad to provide both information AND documentation, so please send me an e-mail at sofia-l
