Archaeologist Dimitris Athanassoulis of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades’s claim that the 1,800-year-old tomb which he has found on the Greek island of Sikinos in a mausoleum had been converted into a church and monastery during the Byzantine period is incorrect. He says one of the Aegean’s most impressive has got an identity without knowing that ancient Aegean is nowhere in Europe or in the Middle East. it was a place at the foot of Mt Kaukasus or Caucasus that identifies the Kapotiak monastery itself. Alexander’s invasion account has taken the name of Aegean as neighbourly to Phrygia close to Hellespont and also to the river Scamander. How Dimitris Athanassoulis found it in the present day Greece? Byzantine is a very confused name for biblical scholars who are yet to find out its correct geographical situation. Its biblical relationship with Jericho and Makkadah should be correctly ascertained before anything said on it.
Aegean refers to ancient Anga country of Indian puranas; it was neighbourly to Magadha, known to the Bible as Megiddo.
