Hi, can you translate this (found in a old church during trip to Turkey)?

  1. I only know that this text was made by a Greek soldier during campaign in the begining of the 20th century. It is located in Phrygia.

  2. It says “Ζητω ο Βασιλιεύς των Ελλήνων Κωνσταντίνος,[unintelligible] 1914” which is translated to “Long live the king of the greek people, Konstantinos”

  3. This is a great timing buddy 😂😂😂

    Almost meme-worthy

    Some context: most likely it refers to the prick of a king that pushed the Greek army to the depths of Anatolia causing the 1922 disaster.

  4. It really does say “Long live King Constantine”. The part that no one has mentioned is the “ο ΙΒ” that follows. It means “the twelve” or XII and refers to him being the 12th Constantine. And that is due to the widely held belief that the king was the legitimate heir of the last Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI.

  5. It says “the original greek tzatziki has yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill. Carrot is forbidden…” And it’s a very important archaeological finding.
