Abnormal heat and drought in Greece have led to a drop in the water level of Lake Mornos, exposing the ruins of the village of Kallio, which was flooded almost 50 years ago.

Abnormally high temperatures and drought in Greece led to a significant drop in the water level in the artificial Lake Mornos, which is the main reservoir of Athens. Because of this, the ruins of houses that were flooded almost 50 years ago appeared on the surface.

As Popular Science reported, due to the constant lowering of the water level, the remains of the village of Kallio became visible. In the late 1970s, about 80 houses in the village were flooded to create a reservoir fed by the Mornos and Evinos rivers to supply water to the Greek capital.

“The level of Lake Mornos dropped by 40 meters. You can see the first floor of my mother-in-law’s two-story house. My cousins’ old house is nearby,” Giorgos Iosifidis, 67, told AFT. He is one of the villagers who were forced to leave their homes almost half a century ago.

Iosifidis noted that the ruins of the village have appeared above water after flooding, especially during a similar drought in the 1990s.

Despite the fact that heat is not a rare phenomenon for Greece, this year the temperature indicators set new records. According to the National Observatory, the summer of 2024 will be the hottest on record and the winter will be the coldest.

It was previously reported that on the island of Pantelleria in Sicily, archaeologists discovered 27 silver coins from the Republican period of Ancient Rome.
