Scientists Seek More Tombs At Ancient Greek Site

Greek Culture Minister Costas Tasoulas said Saturday scientists have started the second phase of excavation at the burial site, dating back to Alexander the Great's reign in the late 4th century B.C. He said scientists are searching for possible additional burial chambers below the splendid, three-chamber tomb discovered in August. Anthropologists will try to identify the skeleton's gender and age, but warn the full identity might never be known.
