[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

Hi gu. There have been a new city found by archeologist in central Greece, near small town of Vlochos. Is in Thessaly, in ancient times a source of the best cavalry in Greece, until Philip's Companion cavalry bested them, then they become 2nd best cavalry in Greece.

 

Anyway, people knew of the site from before -- locals can see the outline of the walls in the ground on the hill, the acropolis of the city -- but previous archaeologist thought the site was just a small settlement of no importance. 

 

But now with ground penetratration radar and satellite imagery, they have discovered the site is much larger than once they believed, and now think it is actual city instead of small village.

Here is the google map of the acropolis. You can clearly see the outline of the walls. Ground radar have already reveal a city grid of roads and building foundation!
