Romanian archaeological items on display in Athens

The Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Greece houses the exhibition titled "The Lost World of Old Europe: The Danube Valley 5000-3500 BC," which includes more than 2500 archaeological items, most of them coming from Romania's heritage. The exhibition will be on until January 10 next year. Over 6,000 years old, the items on display were discovered in the areas where various Neolithic cultures developed such as Cucuteni (eastern Romania), Boian (central Romania), Gumelmita (southern Romania), Hamangia (south-eastern Romania), Vadastra (southern Romania) and Vinca. The famous Hamangia "Thinker" is the emblematic image of the art objects exhibited there. Opened on October 6, the exhibition in Athens presents an extensive and coherent excursion into the prehistoric civilization that flourished in the area of the Danube basin, almost seven millennia ago.
