Acropolis Hill almost falls through registry cracks

The Acropolis Hill and the emblematic Parthenon at its top nearly went down on Greece's cadastre as belonging to an 'unknown owner,' the head of the company in charge of the land registry said. The reason, said Giorgos Dimitriou, is that the Culture Ministry did not register the monument on time. [Laurent Gillieron/EPA]
