El arqueólogo dirigiendo la excavación de la tumba antigua en Amphipolis, Norte de Grecia, dijo el sábado que el sitio había sido abierto al público pero lo que más tarde sellado, Aunque esto no lo protegió de asaltantes que robó muchos artículos.
"Es cierto que hubo daños y saqueos en la antigüedad como era un gran monumento que la gente puede visitar,” said Katerina Peristeri (Foto) at a news conference.
Peristeri refused to be drawn on the possible identity of the skeleton found inside the tomb, which dates to the era of Alexander the Great, despite earlier comments that a top Macedonian general was the most likely occupant.
“I had said some time ago that with a lion on top of such a massive monument, it could be the tomb of a general,"dijo Peristeri. “When the skeleton was found, an archaeologist could never say if it is a man or a woman.”
The results of tests on the remains are expected in several months. Peristeri said that the skeleton was in “poor condition.” She dismissed rumors that Amphipolis could have been the burial place of Alexander the Great.
“I do not respond to conspiracy theories about Alexander the Great being buried there,"ella dijo.
