Thank you for your comment,my son fixed the problem.Pydna still gives us sculptures and mouments, and i think it will continue to do so in the future. ( I also hope for the other half of an certain epigraphy to be discovered...) Sorry the text is in greek.

For recent excavations and finds in Makrighialos, Pydna unfortunately -for the non familiar- in greek.Archeologist Manthos Bessios.

Third chamber. Found the head of a sphinx among other finds.

I also cannot see the monogram, but my understanding is that her point was that such monograms (among other evidence) where used to date the tomb in the late 4th century BC. There has never been an explanation from the arcaeological team on how they were so certain with the chronology even from 201...

Nearchus was bearded ! just kidding,we have to wait a full cleaning of the mosaic ( Is the man crowned with a golden wreath?)

Parts of a double marble door and parts of its usual iron moving mechanism (characteristic of the Macedonian tombs) was found in chamber no.3 of the Amfipolis tomb. No photos exist as of yet, this was just announced.

29-9-2014 .Overall height ( with pedestals) of the Caryatids:3,67 meters
photos : http://www.protothema.gr and http://www.lifo.gr/now/culture/53419

The statues are not situated in the centre of the pedestal, maybe for structural purposes?

Here is a link to a number of photos of archaizing statues. The source is the booklet ELEUSIS (Athens 1979) by archaeologist Katherine G. Kanta.

About the' Klodones ' of Andrew.The similarities with the ladies of Amphipolis are impressive. I cant remember a similar statue in Greek soil anyway ....but that said , i cant state i have seen all the statues in Hellas.

Interesting, still nothing concrete, love the speculation about Deinokrates symbolism in Huffington, it's right 33 metres, he died at thirty-three...amazing... amazing that the muppet has not realised Alexander did not work in Metric!!! Feet and inches would have been better, at least they are Impe...
