Artémis, le temple perdu.2023.FR.WEBRIP.1080P

The location of the sanctuary of Artemis at Amarynthos has long remained one of Greece's great archaeological enigmas. This vast "Artemision" is mentioned in several ancient texts. Yet, despite numerous expeditions from the late 19th century onwards, the sanctuary and its temple could not be found. In the 1960s, a young Swiss archaeologist, Denis Knoepfler, set out in search of it. His investigations soon led him into the hinterland of the island of Evia. But it wasn't until 2017 that a team of Swiss and Greek archaeologists formally identified the sanctuary of Artemis. This documentary retraces a collective epic spanning more than a century, rich in twists and turns, and details the crucial stages of a long-term investigation that has fascinated several generations of archaeologists.
