The island where the archaeological remains lie was a major religious center and prosperous trading hub in antiquity.
A remarkable ancient site on the tiny Greek island of Delos is 'doomed to disappear' within decades due to rising sea levels and geological processes, an expert has said.While it only covers an area of roughly 1.3 square miles, Delos is considered to be one of the most important places in the ancient Greek world.The rocky island, part of the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea, was first settled in the 3rd millennium B.C. But in the 1st millennium B.C.
Among the island's notable ruins are the remains of a Hellenistic settlement, the Sanctuary of Apollo and the iconic Terrace of the Lions statues.But the archaeological remains on the island face an uncertain future in the face of global climate change, which is causing sea levels to rise around the world.
