Digging at the Crossroads of Time by Christos Morris

An ancient world comes alive in a Greek fishing village.
While exhuming human remains within a collapsed Minoan temple, a respected archaeologist senses a need to look beyond the bones and shards of his discovery. When he digs deeper into the mysteries of the mountain, there are unexpected consequences for himself and the small Greek fishing village below. When death descends, supersititious villagers cry out to bury the discovery and "let the dead rest".
The secrets from 1628 BC slowly emerge within two alternating and parallel stories 4000 years apart. The lives from an ancient and modern world converge in a tale of conflict between tradition and reason, science and mystical longing while digging at the crossroads of time.
