In a time when the temporal distance from the uprooting from the Pontic homeland fades the now scattered memories of Pontic Hellenism, nearly a century later, the book "The Ark of Pontus" by Tasos Kontoyannidis comes to record and classify elements from the rich history and culture of Pontus.

Elements from mythology, the history of the founding of the first colonies, events, and individuals who marked the long history of Pontic Hellenism up to the Genocide and even today are preserved within the pages of the book, which, as a true ark, comes to rescue them from the flood of data and knowledge of the information society of the 21st century.

Within the pages of the book, the reader will wander one by one through the historical cities, the great educational institutions, and the iconic monasteries of Pontus, the forgotten places for the descendants of the Greeks who lived there for centuries and millennia.

However, in addition to the above, the "Ark" also references the distinguished Greeks of Pontic descent, whose struggles and contributions helped build modern Greece. A true "Ark" of Pontus.
