Beijing, 21/07/2015 (The People’s Daily Online) -Filipo II transformed Macedonia the hegemonic power of the Greek world and when he died was preparing a large-scale attack the Persian Empire, which took place shortly after his son Alexander the Great. A new study finds that his remains are in Vergina (Greece), but in a different grave than previously thought, according to El Mundo.
Led by Antonis Bartsiokas of the Democritus University of Thrace (Greece) A team of scientists has published an article in the journal PNAS that sheds light on the tomb of the King, assassinated in 336 BC near modern Vergina.
In 1977 and 1978 were excavated in the Great Mound of that city three monumental tombs were built for the last break of members of the Macedonian royal and a temple dedicated to a hero. Since then, other research teams have studied the bone material.
Currently, the authors suggest that the tomb I contains the remains of Philip II of Macedonia, whom we know from historical sources that received a spear in the leg during a battle three years before his death and became lame, and his wife and son.
The scientists then suggested that the remains of the tomb II belong to King Philip III Arrhidaeus and his wife Eurydice.
