Greek Farmer Saw A 4-Foot-Wide Hole At His Farm, Exploring The Depth Reveals An Unusual Find

A Lucky Accident

Throughout all these years, most of Crete’s treasure was either looted or destroyed, which makes this incident an extremely rare and significant finding. Especially because it was just a lucky accident. Turns out the irrigation pipe in the farm leaked and that is what made the earth damp causing it to collapse when the farmer’s car drove forward. The limestone soil of the region is very strong but can be dissolved with prolonged exposure to water.
