The OSA on Alexander had to say, I wrote extensively in several of my books and my speeches in numerous. If it happened at last my schedules to support with a lot of "If" and "maybe" and "probably" the tomb of the great doriktitoros, After not found in Egypt, must be sought in Macedonia and, If here and one in my 15 years as a more likely site of Amphipolis, This is the fruit of studies, meditations and on-the-spot investigations. As I have said often in tilopsia and on the radio, and even kat΄epanalipsi, I am not crystal ball fortune telling I. My historical intuition, for decades now, It has strongly been honed so that spawns in me some suspicions, some premonitions that often – too often confirmed. For the possible imposition of a dictatorship in our country had informed verbally and in writing an influential political strains in the country two years ago from its establishment. There are writings. The same happened with the collapse of our language. From the 1976 I am sounding the alarm.
And in what,What concerns at recent excavations in Amphipolis, probably I cause to start; as for the noise that was, He was not my own fault. Quite simply, in my latest book for Alexander write:
"In the view of the writer – never suspected is not missing from the historic stylus – , If once the Tomb found – and rather has been found – the landfill will be – and is – probably some point of Macedonia» («Megas Alexandros: the man Phenomenon "Tom. G΄s. 213).
A few pages above in the main text and more in the footnote I write:
"My guess is based on the following thought: the Olympias would do everything possible to bring the relics of her son in Macedonia and to make emblems of its own power. The site of Amphipolis is most likely. Maybe the Leo who has erected (…) It was the culmination of the mound where he had buried the body of Alexander. If the body was left in Egypt – naturally at a similar monument – we would have a description of the site and of the monument by some Alexandrian writer. Visits of eminent Romans referred to the supposed relics of Alexander was probably in some substitute " (d.p., s.. 206).
The fact that three of my project, Thanks to the newspaper "Real Neus ' came into 110.000 homes and was cause for the resumption of excavations in Amphipolis, makes me happy. It doesn't matter if I win; will it matter that thanks to my 20 year obsession found something wondrous. And this is me enough. But some told radio station was probably something sexy: Now I see it has overwhelmed everyone Alexandromania and Alexandrolagneia. There will be plenty of course and the necessary Alexandromachoi or Alexandromastiges that I speak always derisive to alive in folk soul undefeated paida. The spithamiaio up ( regardless of their ' boy ') gives greater dimension to the greatness of the invincible ' children.
There were also some who attacked against me. I agonized whether said or wrote something bad, If these were so good to me. There was even an eminent archaeologist – academic, I appreciate his work and often the quote on my own work, that before I even started the dialogue – and while his partner knew you am I – said akompsws, before you say anything,what he had to say, that those who argue that the tomb of Alexander is located in Macedonia, say nonsense. Thereby exposed and a ellogimi Lady, Kelly Tablaridoy-Grocer, to write articles sometimes disapproving against him for lack of good upbringing. I encountered with composure and eventually the k. academic was forced (We were at the beginning of the excavations) agree with me that the monument has despoiled, Although I only have one photo of the first door!
I tried throughout this long period be seemly. Due to origin and education do not belch, do not taunt. I respect and meditate on what is being said. Though something I disagree, I try to make my tension due to gravity and composure scientist. Because I know that nothing in science is not stable. Even two parallel lines might to infinity to meet. The amfiballontes, Let's read the geometry of Riemann and Lobachevskij. Don't work all in science with the Euclidean sense.
From my first interview I did at the beginning of August, however, a few caveats that are useful even. Firstly, before you proceed with excavations, need around the Hill – tumulus to place shelter many acres, not lost this time nor "scale» latypis, as old. Rainfall was near and I had not a speck to lost. Secondly, do not start the ira and studia, because instead of, Thanks to finding this to problithoyme, There is a risk to rezileytoyme. Already a gossip who revels beatify God, who in the eynoia Of aperantw, He began to do selectively deaf. I hear you need or what you want to hear. And thirdly, We are not in a hurry. Political factor was wrong to State from the outset that in two weeks we'll know. With courtesy indicated that at least two years will be time small. This said by radio, because I have the privilege of being close to Minister.
Alexander and the folk soul
IF TODAY (3 November 2014) incise those lines because on 3 months Amphipolis monopolizes the interest of the Greek people. A poll, even now, in all layers of the population would indicate that most of our fellow citizens want to believe that the finding in the tumulus of Kasta (other sleeker name does not exist;) is the tomb of Alexander. If you look in depth at this popular torque, you will come out a thought shocking: Our people stopped waiting for salvation from the living, that the rule, and wait for the salvation of the dead. As I said on one broadcast, the most alive Greeks are dead. And more alive than the living of the past is Alexander. In the same show I said something sarcastic: – "Why you call constantly to speak for the dead, not the living; Inwardly you convinced that some deaths are more alive than the living, that, However, is dead but have forgotten to lie down "!
It is not surprising that. Always save the Greeks their dead. Julius Caesar once said to the Athenians poignantly! "As when will save you the glory of your ancestors;». Always, seeing the issue of Amphipolis from a political point of view, I reach a conclusion of optimism. I think amazing is not the finding itself. The impressive is that – despite the crisis and tax storm – the enigmatic underground construction for three months – I repeat – the comes first in our people's interests. And this despite the decades some policies and ellinomachwn effort imaginable to eliminate the historical memory of our people, to extinguish the ancient tradition of our lives. Maybe somehow I wrote and spoke for Alexander's Tomb. Alexander damage and still reigns in the pure soul of the people. In antique times, When the storm ederne the mountains, the prizewinners tsopanides Alexander's sister's prayer, the Lady Calling, the Queen of neraϊdwn and say:
– «Kira Call, tell your brother of Alexander not to make bad»!
In the minds of ordinary people Alexander continues to damage like a agathopoios legend. In the difficult days that we need and Alexander and Kira Urge, to see ... good! Yet what, what he has learned our people for Alexander, He owes mainly to some inspirational teachers, in that once we did in high school the "C anabasin" by Alexander Arrianoy, but more to the "Stretched" and Hero of the ' shadow ' Troupe, the kosmagapito Shadows. I won't say that Greek historians their debt did not. Those who do not have their debt are the writers and poets more. In school reading there is no poem for Alexander! Nor know anyone poet – from known – that wrote a poem gi΄ayton1 . Instead you can find poems on Stalin, his Zahariadi, for the season I won't say bad poems. The Skopianoi have written many poems about Alexander birria volume. Leave anymore the giant "kitsoeideis" statues. In the capital of Greece and the statue of Alexander remains stored for years. This Alexander, who will unearth;
