What visitors wrote in the guest book at MARMIN1991, where we presented the replica of the Tholos of Delphi and the Sphinx of Naxos

“If the work I see were to magically disappear from Delphi and in its place was placed the one made by Mr. FILAKTOS, not even the best archaeologist could tell the difference.”

“…..FILAKTOS…”Guardian” of our cultural heritage”

“Vangelis, they should take you to the Parthenon to take part in the restoration”
