Amphipolis
We’re not sure what it was.On Delchev's sarcophagus you can read the following inscription: "We swear the future generations to bury these sacred bones in the capital of Independent Macedonia. August 1923 Illinden"

As maintenance work is progressing in the seven sections of marble "architraves" -anikoun the third and most sophisticated area of the burial monument in Kasta- hill revealed gradually performances. Specifies that the position of the marble States which are part entablature, bearing painted decoration. Were placed over the studs of the walls and beneath the marble beams of the roof, which, as announced, have also painted decoration, namely imitation panels with attached rosettes.
In one of the parts of "architraves", during the first phase of the maintenance work, which is still in progress, divided in the center animal, probably a bull and sides two forms, go, female and male (photo 1,2,3 , 4). Right and left female male distinguished urns and winged figures. The right-winged form is directed to a tripod boiler (photo 5).

The Greeks will make it a bull anyway.........fits in well with all their interpretations, the other part of the equation they missed is the s#@t!On Delchev's sarcophagus you can read the following inscription: "We swear the future generations to bury these sacred bones in the capital of Independent Macedonia. August 1923 Illinden"

What's currently happening in Platamon?
Have they got a date on the burial ground yet?
Is it worth while..?
After the media response with Amphipolis. I noticed half of the new's reports were not informative at all as they were just repeats of other reports worded differently.
The media and the reporters really tried to milk it hard.Last edited by Redsun; 12-13-2014, 03:31 PM.

Amphi - I was reading the opinion of a guy who was present. He said he’s mostly disappointed on the way it was covered by newspapers. According to him it lasted more than 5 hours, the alleged dramatic moments and angry reactions were not so dramatic and angry. This guy supported Peristeri who was calm beyond expectations and he said most of the question had already been covered by the main presentations. Many people acted a little like you. Why is the dead like this? Why this? Why that? Well, Persiteri gave a simple and disarming answer. “Well, this is the dead that we found”. LOL, I mean, what can you do? It’s not Alexander, he’s looted (no surprises here), we don’t know if he wore a crown, we don’t know if we’ll find his name.
I don't blame the guy I was disappointed too, the media gave the tomb such a big hype.
Remember, pesteris was very very confident in the beginning. She had said it looked unlooted.
There seems to have been more than three news reports for every single little discovery.
How many reporters made an income redistributing information from other reports.

The skeleton is at last assigned to a certain research group. After rumors that it is a woman around 54 with some broken bones (thus possibly Olympias), the Ministry made the following announcement.
(Google translation)
Because, yesterday and today, moving online unsubstantiated "information" and speculation on the osteological material found in the tomb of Amphipolis, the following is disclosed:
The study of skeletal material, found in the fourth place of the burial monument on the hill castes, commissioned a multidisciplinary team, composed of scientists from the Universities Aristotle and Democritus. The research program aims at modern approach to archeology of death. Starting with the person represented by the skeletal remains of the tomb castes will investigate -with systematic and scientifically ethical manner; the anthropological, social and historical context of the population of Amphipolis.
The analysis of this material is part of a broader research program, which includes the holistic approach of a sample of about three hundred skeletons, coming from the area of Amphipolis and chronologically cover the period from 1000 BC to 200 BC
The results-such as sex, age, stature-the macroscopic study of skeletal material from the fourth place of burial complex, will be announced in January.
In its research program, which is biennial, the necessary modern analytical methods will be applied. The results of investigations of the total material will be completed in a period of twenty months.

Originally posted by sydney View PostOn the remains that have been found, considering it would be customary for the body to be burnt and the bones treated as you have outlined, is it possible the remains are that of a grave robber? If there are any such suspicions, would the tests on the remains still proceed?

Have they used carbon dating?Why is it taking 20 months to study the remains??Also wht are they so sure it was olimpias.As someone said it could have been a grave robber??"Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"

There are already some leaks but I won’t make the mistake to disseminate them.
