I'm amazed by the news (published in the same link you posted here) that in Amphipolis tomb they found also a skeleton of a man. Did I understand well (it is written in Greek)?

Having realized the amount of interest generated by the Amphipolis tomb wouldn't it be wonderful if all major archaeological finds in Greece were updated frequently. I do hope that this wonderful find in Verghina doesn't go the way of all previous ones which is usually an initial announcement with a photo or two and then nothing until it is "presented" at a conference a year or so later. And then when it is finally published it is usually only in Greek. :(

Best Regards,
