Alexander\'s tomb : Last known location ?
#11
Krousia is the mountain that separates Pella from Thessaloniki.
On the mount they found evidence form Bronze age sttlements and Necropolies!. Ancent people held ancient ruind in great reverence.
The caves are not yet explored and this gives food both to thought and fantasy.
When Mr Andronikos found the royal necropolis in Vergina he found the latest necropolis not the others reputed to be in Krousia Mountain.
Phillip's sceleton was identified by the eye socket damage and the the unatural "scar" on his shoulder blades where the dagger got him.
No one has got permission to DNA test the rest of the skeletons.
Chances are that the prince might be Arrideos. The burried lady might be Olympias. She was a terrible woman who flinched in front of nothing and she murdered Philip's paramour herself. Being the regend until Alex was acclaimed by the army I hardly belive she would let the presumed bitch to be entomped with her hasband!!! After all she WAS the Queen!
Its rumored she organized the abduction of her son's remains.
Greek mothers are often accused of having "oidipodean psychosis" with firstborn sons. She also hated the guts of Kassander.
There is reason to think that she took the secret of her son's remains to her grave. Olympias was always a woman who had her own way no matter what!
Official Archologists dismiss the story as fairy tale and no reason to waste funds searching the caves of Krousia.
The sarkofagos in Alexandria I belive is real but it was kept empty to aid the political bid of the Ptolemaics.
I admit I am a bit skeptic but after all I consider Olympias capable for a LOT of things.
Kind regards
Stefanos
