, , .
!
Football is the most popular team sport in the world. And, of course, it is known that the Ancient Greeks
were playing football, and in fact they printed the game in the "sports newspaper" that was circulating at
that time, that is , marble, which is a metamorphosed limestone.
The Rocks write History!
Fuball ist der beliebteste Teamsport der Welt. Und natrlich ist es bekannt, dass die alten Griechen
Fuball spielten, und in der Tat druckten sie das Spiel in der damals zirkulierenden "Sportzeitung", das
heit Marmor aus Pentelikon Gebirge , der ein verwandter Kalkstein ist.
Die Steine schreiben Geschichte !

Some geological highlights from a gallery in Acheloos river, Aitoloakarnania , Western
Continental Greece
By
Konstantinos Bakolitsas
sv1cid@gmail.com +30-6985689506
A "lost" in the "jungle" of the Acheloos River, a depth of 400 meters deep, reveals to us for the first time, after
many decades of its construction, its secrets ... crossed with a cave - develops unique life forms , Important
geological features and a cave that promises a lot for its future ...
The gallery is accessible only by boat in the artificial lake of Kastraki , a beautiful landscape with dense vegetation.

Note by the Editor : It is a tremendous challenge to explore an abandonned gallery lost in the jungle of Achelous
or Acheloos river . Our Friend Konstantinos Bakolitsas (along with Paul Christou) dared to do it. And we all know that
Nature protects people who go close to her. It is a passion other people do not or cannot understand like the passion
to climb in Everest in Himalaya Mountain.

Alternations of green ,yellowish , orange ,gray and black colors compose a unique scenery down in the

Note from the Editor : Data from difficult areas, such as those from the Acheloos gallery, are made known to the
general public because there are people such as Mr. Konstantinos Bakolitsas who, at the risk of their lives, give us
some of the secrets of the Earth.

Selenite, satin spar, desert rose, and gypsum flower are four varieties of the mineral gypsum; all four varieties show
obvious crystalline structure. The four "crystalline" varieties of gypsum are sometimes grouped together and called
selenite. Morocco is the Selenite Capital of the World but it is also found in Mexico, South America, USA, Australia
and Madagascar.
All varieties of gypsum, including selenite and alabaster, are composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (meaning that it
has two molecules of water), with the chemical formula CaSO42H2O. Selenite contains no significant selenium; the
similarity of names comes from both substances being named from the Ancient Greek word for the Moon ( )
