Archaeologists in Greece are opposing government plans to install radar systems on Papoura Hill, fearing damage to an ancient Minoan monument. The Greek Archaeologists Association expressed concerns that construction prioritizes speed and military needs over cultural preservation. Scheduled explosions and heavy machinery threaten the 4,500-year-old site, while radar emissions could restrict public access. The newly discovered labyrinthine structure, dating back to 2000-1700 BC, has sparked a dispute between developers and historians. Despite its significance, the government continues with radar plans, citing aviation safety. Local opposition is growing, with protests and calls for legal action against the project.
