Thank you for sharing this fascinating information about the tomb discovered in Ayios Athanasios! The painted frieze sounds particularly intriguing, with its depiction of banqueters and musicians in Macedonia. It's amazing to think that this tomb dates back to the end of the 4th century BC and that the occupant was buried with his armor.
I appreciate the effort you put into creating an atmosphere and providing context for the photos. It's clear that there is a lot more to learn about this tomb and the culture it represents. I'll definitely keep Maria Tsimpidou-Auloniti's book in mind if I want to delve deeper into this topic.
Thanks again for sharing this interesting piece of history!

Thank you very much for your kind words.This post is so old ...it causes some sadness because some of the people who took part in the discussion , are no longer with us
Also the photo-album is no longer functional , but i think you can see some photos of the this famous grave on the internet .And i still believe that in those frescos we see some 'photos' of the ' friends' of Alexander...

Hi System 1988.

I let this post through because it was harmless, but it says nothing, and if you look at the person's profile, they appear to be selling plants.

Fancy a plant seller with an interest in ancient Macedonian tombs!

I just reread the entire thread for the memories.

Indeed. Life moves on unfortunately. There is so little activity on the site now that I have begun to think about mothballing it.

I could probably understand that given I seem also to have mothballed myself somewhat. Have all the debates/discussions been had? Probably not. Perhaps there's life left yet.

There is certainly much left to be said. It just feels a bit like flogging a dead donkey at times.
