A group of pagans joined at the Acropolis last evening and chanted hymns to Athena (the godess of wisdom) to protect the sacred site from the impending inaugration of the new Acropolis museum. The worshippers demand the return of sculptures removed from the temples and placed inside the museum stating
"It's scandalous that antiquities of such value, carved in honour of Athena, should be wrested from their natural environment and moved to a new locale."
The new museum is slated to open later this year.
