"Vergina"

Sounds like the hillbilly pronunciation of a similar word.

Vergina is the modern name for a place called Aigai in ancient times, one of two capitals of the Macedonian kingdom.

Alexander's body was being taken back to Aigai for burial when it was hijacked by Ptolemy who took the coffin to Egypt to be buried. So if anything is left of Alexander's body now it's probably somewhere in Egypt.
