Just as it was revealed the grave space itself in the depth of the third Chamber on the Tumulus Kasta, at a minimum distance from the much vaunted excavation, There is another, nearly identical CIST Macedonian Tomb. About three hundred meters away from the Hill, in an earlier archaeological survey, It has been revealed the so-called "Tomb III" of Amphipolis. In the prothalamo there is a pebble mosaic with lozenges, which looks pretty with that came to light during the first stage of excavation in the Tumulus Kasta.

The Lazaridis dated the grave III in 3rd b.c.. century, but Dieter Salzmann, German archaeologist who is considered an authority on ancient mosaics, placed the Tomb in the last quarter of the 4th BC. century, almost at the same time in which build, at least in the first phase, the Tumulus Kasta.

The similarities between the two monuments are what characterize the archaeologists as "parallel", i.e. the correspondence, which often confirms or strengthens evidence for the dating of a finding. And in the case of Amphipolis, Maybe it is not only what is going to be revealed in the next phase of excavation, But what is already known, which will indicate that the Tumulus Kasta was never alone.

The tumulus Kasta, You can hide Alexander the great, It deals extensively in the Greek National Geographic, which proceeded in creating two versions, around this magnificent discovery in Greek, archaeologists.

Already, the first version released, with the title “Amphipolis: May hide Alexander the great;” and presents the findings so far of the tomb of Amphipolis, as well as the theories that have been developed so far.

The first edition, US turns a few months back, in the period detected the first “tracks” This tomb at Amphipolis, presents pictures and sketches of the mound and all that, Stressing that any discussion of the Amphipolis, should be done with full respect for!

The tumulus Kasta, beyond the Greek borders and compares with archaeological “colossal” findings, as is the mausoleum of Augustus in Rome, the great pyramid at Giza, the great Tuba in Vergína.

And a series of questions

In this first version, baring and two just, but basic questions:
Can the ancients to built around this monument to hide inside a so smaller construction;
If Yes, can put the most precious monument site, the pithanologoymeno burial chamber, out out and not as instruments are used;

Asked Alexander the great buried in Egypt;

Another question that must be answered. Alexander the great could have requested burial in Egypt, If you wanted to “consolidate” την “universality” the State of. Also, I knew the apotheosis, as the Egyptians, considered him a child of Zeus!

From the other, the great stratilatis, He was loyal to the Macedonian customs imposed by burial in the Royal Tombs at Aigai. Feared, that if you don't follow the “rules”, the dynasty would be destroyed, as envisaged in the prophecy of the progenitor of the Argead dynasty. Extra, adored Homer and Achilles and a few months before, He had buried with Macedonian prices in Ifaistiwna.

Here are more questions in the first edition of National Geographic around Amphipolis. “Alexander's body arrived in Egypt;”, “Alexander's body was burned in Memphis;”.

And after, the theories…

Regardless of who the dead found in Tomb Kasta, importance is for the version and who gave the order to construct the Tomb. The Tomb, It was created in the 4th century BC, When in Greece, was dominated by the “track measure”… So far in this project has completely lost. So, Alexander the great, It is perhaps the only one who could have ordered something so great, as it disregards the 10.000 talents who had to give, in order to honor a dead of…

Alexander the great lives!

As to’ Winter, Whoever ordered the grave, Whoever is there entafiasmenos, Alexander the great, managed what I always wanted: The glory of surpassing that of Achilles and is still alive, as very few in history.

Written by Dimitrios Katsaros

The historian Sarantos Kargakos, explained earlier why the possibility to be Alexander the great the dead of Amphipolis is not so positive, as we think

Speaking of online telecast of PopI Tsapanidou in STAR, the historian Sarantos Kargakos did review our ability "to do ridiculous serious».

The journalist asked Mr Kargako to talk about the scenario that he wants dead of Amphipolis to belongs to Alexander the Great. He replied that he prefers not to speak with scenarios. Είπε ωστόσο ότι θα είναι ένα μεγαλειώδες γεγονός. At the same time, however, a fact that fills terror. The fear is that history we are not able to deal with an event like this with due severity. On the other hand will theatrikopoiisoyme.

While I disagree sometimes with the historian Sarantos Kargako, at this point I must admit right. The historian said the example of visiting of Alamoyntin Amal in Greece legal where such matter to climb ' Lady on the Hill of the Acropolis because they did not have proper footwear. I without proper footwear I climbed in Ararat before few days» noted with slight irony Mr Kargakos.

Reported to attempted theatropoiisi for the return of the Elgin Marbles by visiting Alamoyntin, "as if in Greece there is no legal capital" to work on the problem of claim of marbles. The historian yielded well all collaboration with the famous legal as another case of geloiopoiisis a serious matter.

This criticism was taken as an overall view of the neo-Hellenic culture. But it could be a straight political criticism to the Government. Ebriskomenoi at a time when the political crisis expressed as content of political speech absent, the words we are working seriously for the return of the Parthenon Marbles will not say much in public eikonoboro. Conscripted well image, visits celebrity lawyers that will help to achieve the objective of repatriation, respectively the Amphipolis, the course of business but also disagreements between archaeologists becomes almost reality show. So, has the basis of fear of Mr Kargakoy for the possibility to be Alexander the great buried in Tomb Kasta. "Tremble at the idea" because he knows that I theatrikopoiithei because the Government will use to increase its popularity. Will become the symbol of the Renaissance of modern Greek, grounded in their glorious past and other such graphics, that make us what we are like very fooling, in our neighbouring countries blakanikes.
