I've been listening to the “Trojan War Epic” podcast by Jeff Wilson for the last couple weeks.
Amazing find by archaeologists if true.

According to the dailymail article:
He said that a team of experts had been sent to the site to examine the findings, a 50 kilo slab said to be part of the ancient king's stone chair, and dating back to the last historical phase of the palace at Mycenae. The team concluded that there was no scientific evidence to back Maggidis's claim. The shape of the finding, the experts said, suggests it was more likely part of a household or craft utensil.
not too sure about the "utensil" part, but then a part of a throne is high on the speculation scale. I love the old Greek myths and stories like this though.

A 50 kilo slab... was more likely part of a household or craft utensil? Really?

He did his usual great job with that one, and his "making of" comments reinforce the impression of quality of the unedited original docu. The book has some more interesting details, a little more depth.
