Placanica , cave explorers searching for the graves of the " King of the Sea " : What ...
A team of cavers, exploring the underground rooms of the territory of Placanica, in recent days has found the entrance to the Cave of the Kings, in Monte Gallo, a hieroglyph which would indicate the presence of a necropolis of Pelasgians, primitive peoples of the Mediterranean. According to experts, the cave could hide the coffins of 110 sovereigns of Pelasgian race, rescued in 6,700 BC by a flood, and transported from Egypt and Syria to the Calabrian Serre. The mission, led by Professor Mario Casella, involved four groups (Pangea, Caving Feltre, and City of Port Akakor Alfonso Care) and was realized with the support of the City of Placanica. The curiosity of cavers is inspired by the discoveries of Mario Toulon, a lawyer who in the seventies and nineties has found in the Girifalco a hundred statues and tablets of stone or terra-cotta covered with inscriptions in a language similar to the Iberian Basque, used by people primitive Mediterranean. Some of these tablets, translated by Professor Dominic Raso of Reggio Calabria, describes the burial ritual of the Sea King. And one of the written note tells of the 110 coffins of the kings who were landed near the modern Squillace, before reaching the area of Placanica and be kept temporarily in the grotto of Monte Gallo. There would remain for over six years, before being stored in megalithic structures (ie, formed by large boulders, ed) in the Nardodipace. The team, after the exploration of other sites of speleological interest such as the Cave of the Fairies and Covolo dell'Anfranco, has inspected the cave entrance of the Kings, carved into the rock about three feet high, has been identified glyph that corresponds to the Iberian written "tombs" (CU-TO-L). The "Indiana Jones" have encountered numerous obstacles in their way (layers of earth, boulders collapsed) and have been forced to postpone to a later mission to search for any finds. "Future excavations will be directed to research waste lithic tools and bones", tells Diego Marin, a group of experts. The origin of the history of Placanica is usually traced back to medieval times. But recent discoveries suggest some dating as far back in time. Some surface surveys, led by Professor Francesco Cutera, for example, have identified some quarries in the area for the extraction of metals, which probably date back to the Magna-greek (eighth century BC.). In the district of Titi, also, a few years ago have been found human skeletal remains probably belonging to a Neolithic necropolis of the first. The mayor of Placanica Clemeno Mario Rocco said he was "delighted" that the country has also become a point of archaeological interest: "The mission of the cavers did the rounds of social networks, arousing the curiosity of many of their colleagues." The next step, says Michael Bolognini, one of the guys, "will find out if in the Cave of the Kings were really buried the 110 King Pelasgians."
