I usually hate it when journalists use words like "mystery", especially in combination with "gold" or "treasure", but this time - yes! And what an exciting puzzle this is.

However noone said this is Philip's wreath. Of cource it is highly likely for those who are convinced the great tumulous did not belong to Philip II.
It is yet another part of all that mystery of the royal tombs of Vergina,of the ocupants of the parafernalia in them,and of course of the research for Alexander's tomb. It is interesting that yesterday in the Greek news the archaologist spoke of a wreath almost exactly the same as that of Philip. I remind that Philip's wreath is not just made of oak leaves,but is also the biggest that has ever been found.

I like my theory.
Wasn't Olympias killed because she wouldn't tell Cassander where Alexander's body was?
