EVIA, GREECE—A 2,700-year-old temple with a horseshoe-shaped altar has been discovered on the Greek island of Evia, which is also known as Euboea, according to a Live Science report. This temple measures 100 feet long and sits next to another temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Several hearths were found in the newly discovered temple’s nave, one of which had an ash-caked altar holding pieces of charred bone; pottery; vases; items made of alabaster; jewelry made of gold, silver, coral, and amber; amulets; and bronze and iron fittings. Some of the pottery is thought to be older than the temple. Brick partitions were added to the structure for support in the sixth century B.C., perhaps because the temple had been damaged in a fire. Several stone walls from an earlier building, and bronze figurines shaped like bulls and a ram, were found beneath the temple.
