This is a museum guide to the archaeological site and art of ancient Eretria, on the island of Euboea just off the east coast of Greece. Eretria was an important trading city during the Greek Iron Age and Archaic period (roughly 850 - 500 BCE). The island of Euboea gave rise to a number of important trading cities early in Greek history - The most important were Chalkis and Eretria which were equidistant from the site of Lefkandi, the site of an earlier trading town (c.1100 - 840 BCE) in the Lelantine Plain. Thucydides tells of a Lelantine War between Chalkis and Eretria during the 8th & 7th centuries BCE. Lefkandi's destruction could have been collateral damage from this war which went on for apparently 30 years. Translated from the Greek by David Hardy.

Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke, author of Encounters With Star People, vowed as a teenager to follow in the footsteps of two 19th-century explorers, John L. Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, who brought the ancient Maya cities to the world's attention. Dr. Clarke set out on a seven-year adventure (from 2003 through 2010) through Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, collecting stories of encounters, sky gods, giants, little people, and aliens among the indigenous people. She drove more than 12,000 miles, visiting 89 archaeological sites (Stephens and Catherwood visited only 44) and conducting nearly 100 individual interviews. The result is an enthralling series of unique, original, true stories of encounters with space travelers, giants, little people, and UFOs. Sky People may very well change the way you perceive and experience the world.
