Greek police recovered more than 70 items dating to the 6th century BC on Thursday, following an operation to net antiquities smugglers in Thessaloniki. The recovered artifacts include gold masks, helmets, small clay and metal statues as well as parts of an iron sword. Two people were arrested in the operation.

On the day they were confiscated the items were transported to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, where they were viewed by Prime Minister George Papandreou, Citizens’ Protection Minister Christos Papoutsis and Culture Minister Pavlos Geroulanos. While Culture Ministry officials noted that the items were most certainly unearthed following illicit excavations in Central Macedonia, archaeologists have yet to determine their exact provenance.

Meanwhile, Citizens’ Protection Ministry officials told Kathimerini that given the items’ Macedonian heritage, it was imperative that they not to leave the country and run the risk of being “rediscovered” during an “official” excavation in a neighboring country.

Accusing whom this article doesnt make it very clear

[George S.]

they are really accusing us of rediscovering then when they get to rom.We could say the same thing where greeks pay money to buy artifacts so that they could say it came from greece.

In Aegean Macedonia we stopped off at Pella, to see this museum that apparently had artifacts uncovered from Pella
The museum had artifacts from ATHENS, it was a joke, will try and find the pamphlet we received on entry, hubby took a lot of photographs of the Southern Greek artifacts supposedly from Alexander the Great, and the guide propoganda speaking telling us all uncovered recently from Pella. Crack of shit

That's hard to believe, although this museum is new and Ι haven't visited it yet. Anyhow, most of the exhibits should be from the area. Even if there was a special hosted section of Athenian artifacts, it would be denoted so.
Can you see any of them in the website below?

I am not a liar!
Neither is my husband or our driver. The new museum hosted artifacts from ATHENS and southern Greece, was there 8 weeks ago and shows the blatant lies and propoganda spread . Was hoping to see artifacts from Pella, and so called artifacts from Alexander the Great and King Phillip, nothing like heraclea in Bitola!!!
I have a folder full of photographs my husband was taking without a flash as they requested, and I walked out in disgust

If I wanted to see anything from the acropolis I would have gone to Athens

I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. All artifacts have explanatory texts next to them.
Are you saying big part of the exhibition was from... Athens?
Are you saying you consider the artifacts as falsely presented as Macedonian (being actually Athenian)?
Can you be more clear or give us an example given the 4 pages of pictures I gave you?

[julie]

I have photographs and the explanatory notes on dozens of artifacts from SOUTHERN Greece and dont have the internet usage allowance available to me to publish, as most of my colleagues here know. I shall print them off and show everyone I come into contact with , so they may further know about grk lies and propoganda.
Needless to say my (Oz ) husband went back to work and told everyone what a bunch of liars and misfits grks are
Good night

[Zarni]

I understood well

Athenian artefacts masked as Macedonian treasures

[julie]

LOL, funny how grks say Macedonians are doing the wrong thing (when they are not!) and how they lie from their hell ass

[cultea]

Julie,
If you read your answer again, you'll understand it was far from clear. Can you try again to answer my question?
Are you saying what Zarni understood? Can you see the 15-20 photos of my link and display your opinions?
(I'll visit the museum tomorrow anyway).

This must be a joke? The biggest liars and thieves in living history, making false accusations about the real Macedonians digging up Greek artefacts in Greece, transporting them to Macedonia and then digging them up again to prove they are Macedonian! WTF? With little or no credibility left and the EU having to bail out their sorry thieving arses they stoop to new lows to prove how Macedonian they are! Dream on Grci you will never be good enough to be Macedonian!

Nice pictures, doesn't provide any insight as to what they are or where they're from?
