I welcome feedback on the article and what's said in the video. I hope they spark some discussion.
Don Interesting topic and I appreciate the work you put in to compile all the info. Your presentation is top notch as well. Thanks for all this.
I remember watching some documentary on Epicurus some time ago and the presenter standing in a car park in Athens saying that this might have been the location of the Garden. I got the same feeling when you showed Marathonos 61 on Google maps. The Garden turned into solid concrete. It got me sad for a moment but then I thought: Well, things change. Good ideas, however, seem to be rather resistant to concrete. And here we are now. Over 2 millennia later talking about what was conceived in the Garden and good luck pouring concrete on that!
