A crack force of Macedonian troops has just made an audacious night-time crossing of a tempestuous river; but now an army featuring one of the largest forces of war elephants ever fielded threatens to force them back into the water.

In 197 BC Phillip V of Macedon fought a fierce battle, here, against a Roman army that was determined to destroy him. The stakes were high, both Rome and Macedon were fighting for control of Greece. If Rome won, she would rule the entire Mediterranean world; but Cynoscephalae was not just a battle between two military powers, it was a battle between two ways of fighting. Between the old way of the Greeks and the new way of Rome.

It's 331 BC. Alexander the Great is on the attack, taking on the massive Persian army of Darius, king of kings. Can Darius hold on to his colossal empire? Or will the hot-headed young Alexander seize it from him by force?

Fragmento de la serie documental de la BBC "Días que cambiaron el mundo" dedicado al desciframiento de la piedra de Rosetta en 1822 por Jean-François Champollion

Αφού επί χρόνια συγκέντρωναν στοιχεία για τις περιουσίες που αφήσαν πίσω τους όσοι στερήθηκαν από το Ελληνικό κράτος την Ελληνική ιθαγένεια μετά τον εμφύλιο, αρχές και ΜΚΟ της ΠΓΔΜ αποφάσισαν πρόσφατα να προωθήσουν μαζικά στα Ελληνικά δικαστήρια και στη συνέχεια στο δικαστήριο του Στρασβούργου την διεκδίκησή τους. Ο Τάσος Τέλλογλου ταξιδεύει μέχρι τα Σκόπια για να ερεύνησει γιατί αλλά και πώς η κυβέρνηση της γειτονικής χώρας υποστηρίζει τις διεκδικήσεις αυτές, αλλά και για ποιο λόγο βοηθά την συγκεκριμένη υπόθεση τώρα.

The excavation by Professor Manolis Andronikos and his associates under the Great Tumulus of Vergina village in Imathia, Central Macedonia in 1977 brought to light the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th century in Greece. Today's Vergina (Ancient Aigai), in the foothills of Mt. Pieria, was the first capital of ancient kingdom of Macedonia, called Aigai. The site of the Royal Tombs under a modern roof hosts the main excavation, as well as an exhibition of the major finds from the burials. It is protected by UNESCO as world cultural heritage and comprises a unique discovery of an enormous universal impact.

More than 500 gold, silver and bronze exhibits from a royal tomb were displayed at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

They were discovered in the ancient palace of Aegae in Macedonia, Greece.

Macedonian art specialist, Dr Angeliki Kottaridi, said: "This exhibition is the most important Greek cultural event in many years."

Dr Christopher Brown, director of the museum said: "It is a tremendous honour for the Ashmolean to be the first place where people can see the latest discoveries from Aegae."

An academic lecture discussing the spread of Hellenism by Alexander the Great and the establishment of the connection between the Mediterranean world and the Asian world.

Following the death of Alexander, his vast domains were split up among four of his military commanders, and thus commenced the age of Greek influence throughout the Mediterranean World. The eleventh chapter of Daniel, though complicated and challenging to read, provides insight into this era and evidence of God's providence in protecting his people during turbulent times.
