During speech at a conference held in Thessaloniki, Greece, commemorating the anniversary 2 000 400 the birth of Aristotle, the archaeologist Konstantinos Sismanidis said not to have “no proof but strong indications that give the greatest possible certainty” in support of their assertion.
the tomb was in an open construction in the ancient town of Stagira, where Aristotle was born, about 64 kilometers east of Thessaloniki sky. According Sismanidis, the building was a monument erected in honor of the philosopher Aristotle when he died in 322 BC.
“We had found the grave,” said the archaeologist. “Now we also find the altar that is mentioned in ancient texts as well as the road leading to the tomb, which was very close to the old city market, located inside the settlement of the city.”
While the evidence of the person buried in the tomb was circumstantial, several characteristics-its location and panoramic view; its placement in the middle of a square marble floor; and the date of construction, which is calculated was very early in the Hellenistic period, which began in 323 BC after the death of the most famous Aristotle’s pupil, Alexander the Great – “lead to the conclusion that the remains of the building arched part of what once was the tomb-altar of Aristotle “Sismanidis said.
Aristotle, who was born in 384 BC, was a disciple of Plato in Athens and it became crucial for the emergence of Western philosophy figure. His work forms the basis of modern logic, while his metaphysics became an integral part of Christian theology. His ‘Poetics’ continues to provide a thorough analysis of what works and what does not, in the theater. King Philip II of Macedonia hired him as tutor to his son Alexander.
In 2014 excavations carried out in another area of northern Greek, Anfípolis, they led to the discovery of the largest ancient tomb located in the country. Speculation around the tomb of Alexander the Great sparked a huge interest from the press, but later archaeologists concluded that it was probably built for a close companion of the king and conqueror.
