Archaeologists discover ruins of ancient Greek Palace

The culture ministry of Greece made an announcement that the Greek Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of a prehistoric palace in Greece at Aghios Vassiolios hill. As per Ancient Times, some researchers think that it is probably the palace of Sparta.

The site has significant archaic inscriptions written in the Mycenaean Age. The palace was probably constructed around the 16th-17th centuries BC. As per the available proof, the structure was possibly demolished because of fire sometime in the late 14th or early 13th century.

According to Discovery News, the ministry said, "The discovery of the palace would help in more research on the political, administrative, economic and societal organization of the region, and would offer new information on the beliefs and language systems of the Mycenean people".

The ancient palace, found in close proximity to Sparta in the South of Greece, had about 10 rooms. The archeologists also found different collectibles of clay, objects of worship, a cup with a bull's head and mural fragments. The palace and the objects found will reveal more information regarding the ancient Mycenaean civilization, according to the archeologists.

Until now, over 150 archaeological excavations have been conducted in Greece this year.

Several excavations have been carried out in the area since 2009. The excavations have uncovered inscriptions that have been written in Linear B script. The inscriptions are associated with religious practices in addition to names and places.

As per Ancient Origins, the last phase of the Bronze Age was the Mycenaean era in Ancient Greece.
