Η σύγκρουση των ανέμων εδώ
προκαλεί την ατέρμονη μάχη μεταξύ των Βορειοανατολικών, Βορειοδυτικών, Νοτιοδυτικών ανέμων και των Μελτεμιών.
Οι άνεμοι περικυκλώνουν το βουνό με τη φορά των δεικτών του ρολογιού
και το αντίστροφο, με φορά αντίθετη των δεικτών του ρολογιού,
μέσα σε μια μέρα αλλάζουν… μία φορά… δυο φορές…
περισσότερες… καθώς τρικυμίες φθάνουν στην ακτή.
In the Path of Colliding Winds on the Ancient Thracian Sea, Defiantly Stands the Highest Peak, Above the Deepest Undersea Canyon,
In the Eastern Mediterranean Basin…. The Nexus of Divine Nature… The collision of the winds here on Samothrace, Samothraki, Swirling around Mount Saos the last, most southerly peak in Europe’s oldest mountain range… Results in constant battle of North Easterlies, North Westerlies, South Westerlies, and the Meltemi…. The winds circle the mountain in a clockwise direction, Reverse in a counter-clockwise direction, Changing in a day…once…twice… more… as storms come ashore….

The Magic Mountain in the Sea, the Island of Samothraki, is a geographical nexus of winds, of meteorological and sea currents, and tectonic forces. One of the few places in the world, and certainly the smallest, to have dual climactic zones, one on the island’s north side, and one on the south. At this island mountain, the prevailing south-westerly winds from the North-African Sahara Desert, collide with the north-easterly winds blowing fiercely with jet-engine like compression through the Hellespont of the Dardanelles, from across the Sea of Marmara, sweeping in across the Black Sea from the far away Russian steppes.

The Magic Mountain in the Sea, the Island of Samothraki, is a geographical nexus of wind and sea currents, of meteorological and oceanic currents, and tectonic forces. One of the few places in the world, and certainly the smallest, to have dual climactic zones, one on the island’s north side, and one on the south. At this island mountain, the prevailing south-westerly winds from the North-African Sahara Desert, collide with the north-easterly winds blowing fiercely with jet-engine like compression through the Hellespont of the Dardanelles, from across the Sea of Marmara, sweeping in across the Black Sea from the far away Russian steppes.
Winds Blow…
It was here for six thousand years or more, the local seafarers and sea-travelers came to pray for protection and permission to cross the seas from the Kabeiroi Goddess of Victory of the Battle of the Winds…Nike… for her guarantee of safe passage….
This is the Tiny, Mighty, Island of Samothraki (Samothrace)… in Evros, Greece….
Magic Mountain in the Sea
A Special Place for You and Me,
We Love You Samothraki
Along a vertical ridge line demarcating the battle front of colliding winds, running up beyond the heights above Paleopoli… is where the inhabitants built temples to the Kaberoi of the Wind, in their ancient beliefs dating from the Neolithic stone age…
Not much remains, in the material plane, while the meta-physical, remains abundant & plentiful,
the slopes beckon for all to reckon……
Samothrace Magic Mountain in the Sea…
Τείχη & Ναός, Ιερό των Μεγάλων Θεών, Μαγικό Όρος
Δεν μένουν πολλά, στο υλικό επίπεδο,
ενώ το μετα-φυσικό, παραμένει άφθονο και άφθονο,
οι πλαγιές καλούν όλους να υπολογίσουν ……
Το μαγικό βουνό της Σαμοθράκης στη Θάλασσα…
The Heights of Paleopoli, where the Winds Clash Fiercest, will over power a man from his footing on earth, gusting from all directions at once, with a roar so loud and strong, to deafen for so long… Here Nike Kabeiroi, Goddess of Victory of the Battle of the Winds… reigned Supreme, in the Coliseum of the Winds, above the Temple, in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods Kabeiroi, on the Heights of Paleopoli, under the watchful gaze of her Saoki Mountain Mother …
At this Temple the Kabeiroi received Pilgrimages, revered with homage by Royalty, from every where in the surrounding ancient world…The Thracian Balkan Hinterlands, the Macedonians, the northern, western and southern coast of Asia Minor, the Egyptian Ptolemites, the Greek City States, and the Romans…
Αξιοθεατο Μαγνητισμός της μαγείας Σε αυτόν τον ναό οι Καβείροι δέχτηκαν προσκυνήματα, σεβαστά με φόρο τιμής από την Royalty, από κάθε σημείο του γύρω αρχαίου κόσμου… Οι Θρακικές Βαλκανικές ενδοχώρα, οι Μακεδόνες, οι βόρειες, δυτικές και νότιες ακτές της Μικράς Ασίας, οι Αιγύπτιοι Πτολεμαίοι, τα κράτη της
And here where the Winds battle fiercest, on the heights of Paleopoli, they built her temples ….
To plead and pray for safe passage at sea, the sea farers begged, to The Goddess of Victory of the Battling Winds…
To send a favourable wind their way,
For only she could grant life’s guarantee, of safe passage at sea, Here they worshiped their Nike…
The View from Nike’s Vantage Point… as Conceived in Greek Classical Era, at the Coliseum of the Winds, Temple in the Sanctuary of Great Gods, Heights of Palaiopoli, Samothraki …

An early statue from the Museum in the Temple, of Ancient Kabeiroi Nike, Goddess of Victory of the Battle of the Winds… on this Island serving as the Sanctuary of the Great Gods Kabeiroi, …where the winds swirl around the mountain in one direction and then the other near simultaneously in opposite directions, clashing in battle all around the Theatre of Winds in the Temple on the Heights of Paleopoli, mysterious forces of Divine Nature, on this Magical Mountain in the Sea… Saoki, Samothraki

Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο, Αρχαία Kabeiroi Nike, θεά της νίκης της μάχης των ανέμων … σε αυτό το νησί που χρησιμεύει ως το Ιερό των Μεγάλων Θεών Kabeiroi … όπου οι άνεμοι στροβιλίζονται γύρω από το βουνό σε μια κατεύθυνση και στη συνέχεια η άλλη σχεδόν ταυτόχρονα σε αντίθετες κατευθύνσεις, συγκρούονται κοντά στο Ναό στο Θέατρο των ανέμων στα ύψη της Παλαιόπολης, μυστηριώδεις δυνάμεις της Θείας Φύσης, εδώ στο Μαγικό Όρος της Θείας Φύσης…
In the late 1800’s, remnants of this magnificent sculpture of Nike were taken to Paris and restored to it’s present day state at the Louvre museum.
There she remains to this day … Renamed, re-branded and demoted, simply as ‘the Nike of Samothrace’, or ‘Victory of Samothrace’, far from the swirling winds surrounding her rightful realm and domain… .
… far from the Colliseum of Battling winds on Samothraki, for which she was conceived…
Enslaved for Tourism in the Louvre Museum, Paris… FREE NIKE into the Wild Swirling Winds of Samothraki, on the Heights of Paleopoli, to Reign once again over Her Rightful Domain, at the Pinnacle of the Coliseum of the Winds…back into the Context of Man-kinds’ Conception…
Υποδουλωμένος για Τουρισμό στο Μουσείο του Λούβρου, Παρίσι… ΔΩΡΕΑΝ ΝΙΚΑ στους άγριους ανέμους της Σαμοθράκης, στα ύψη της Παλαιόπολης. Για να ξαναγυρίσει πάνω από τον Δικαίωμα Τομέα της, στην κορυφή του Κολοσσαίου των ανέμων… Απελευθερώστε την πίσω στο Πλαίσιο της Αντίληψης των Ανθρώπων…
Aspiring in magnificence for more than 2,000 years….
the embodied personification of Kabeiroi…
the magical energies of nature …
and their inter-astro interactions emanating from deep within the planet’s magnetic core…
The origin of this statue remains an enigma, as enigmatic as the origin of the winds themselves….
The artistic conception and styling of her sculpting, reveals traces adapted from more than one period, from more than one school of technique, attributed to more than one artist, without conclusive certainty among scholars.
The kinetic motion revealed in her tactile soft wings, the rippling of her gown, the forceful forward momentum of her torso against invisible resistance, are the embodied personification of the blustering energies of the winds themselves.
Ten thousand years of civilisation, and humanity has produced no better visual portrayal of the ubiquitous yet invisible energies of the winds.
This work of art is the pinnacle of civilisation’s expression of reverence to the mysterious, invisible forces and divine dimensions of nature.
To separate her from the surrounding context in which she was conceived, is nothing less than an insult to her creation, a disgrace to the appreciation of art itself, and disrespectful denial of the Divine Dimensions of Nature.
Her rightful place is above the theatre of the winds,
in the Temple of the Great Gods, on the heights of Paleopoli,
and to her Reign as Goddess of the Victory of the Battle of the Winds.
Know the Kabeiroi:
Creation enigmatic,
medium stone static,
ubiquitous yet invisible energies kinetic,
unrivalled art of mankinds’ ten thousand year civilisation…
Wind Shows … Man knows…!
