Alexander\'s tomb : Last known location ?
#25
Quote:It is interesting what you say Travis, about the Administrator at Vergina not being convinced that the tomb is Phillip's. I wonder what made him so sure... :?

As I recall, there were a number of problems with the forensic evidence. The eye damage for one may have happened in death, which means it can't be philip. Also, the shorter greave is often used to prove it was philip, but he pointed out it was the wrong leg.

Also, the quality and style of the gravegoods was questionable. The gold is too thin for a royal tomb, and the style is wrong.

I can't verify any of this independently however, not being an expert on any of those issues.
