The tombs near Vergina, initially believed to belong to figures from Alexander the Great's family, have seen recent scholarly debate. New findings suggest that a skeleton previously identified as Philip II is not actually his, but rather an unknown Macedonian royal from an earlier period. Despite previous conclusions asserting which tombs housed Alexander's relatives, confusion continues, particularly as the location of Alexander himself remains elusive. This ongoing research highlights the complexities of unearthing historical truths about one of history's most renowned figures.
Lead author Dr. Yannis Maniatis stated, 'Thus, we are absolutely certain it is not Philip II.' This revelation reshapes our understanding of the tomb's occupants.
Alexander the Great's burial site remains undiscovered. Researchers originally identified tombs in Vergina as belonging to his family, but new evidence contradicts previous claims.
