The eight-chambered tomb dates to the Hellenistic Age between the fourth and second century B.C., and is the largest of its kind ever found in Greece. The biggest multichambered tombs until now contained three chambers. This is an amazing find.

...the largest of its kind ever found in Greece I find it amazing that treasures like this can go undetected
for this long. Hopefully the artifacts can be studied without government intrusion.

The team that was credited with this find was from the University of Memphis. Quite a feather in their,(and the U of M's) cap.

Alexander's empire, which stretched from Greece to Asia, broke into separate kingdoms upon his death in 323 B.C., as his generals battled over the remains of the ancient world's greatest empire.
