Hmmmmm, I wonder if those are my long lost ancestors. Did they leave me anything?

There is so much more to find. We've barely scratched the surface.

Have you read Underworld, by Graham Hancock?
I'm just starting it.

Note: Alexander the Great is not buried in Greece, but was buried most likely in Alexandria by Ptolemy II.

Haven't yet. What's it about? Sounds interesting, from the title alone.

Pella is about 55 miles NW of Thessalonica and was the birthplace of Alexander the Great. Some very impressive mosaics were uncovered by archaeologists there several decades ago.

The most spectacular Macedonian tombs have been found at Vergina, which is about 55 miles S/SW of Pella...one of them is thought by some people to be the tomb of Philip II, but other scholars think it was the tomb of a later member of the ruling house (perhaps Philip Arrhidaeus, the half-brother of Alexander the Great). Alexander himself, of course, was not buried in Macedonia, since Ptolemy hijacked the sarcophagus and had him buried in Alexandria.

On the same subject, but another set of tombs, the video for the newly discovered Pharaonic tomb can be seen here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4700032.stm
