The grave of Amphipolis

Post by system1988 »

This is from the press:

1) All recent days, while the excavation goes on , the location is guarded by huge police force.

2) M.Lefatzis, the architect of the excavation stated: the lion of Amphipolis was the sema of the grave (one of the biggest in Eupope),and the date of the grave is 300-325; the marble was carried from the island of Thassos (expencive), the grave made possibly by the favorite Alexander's architect Deinokrates.

Public statements are soon to follow once the dig is over. According to rumors 2 marble sphinxes were found, the giant tomb's guardians.
