The lost tomb of Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great, has finally been discovered. Recent excavations in the Tomb of Korinos in northern Greece have resulted in what amounts to a massive historical discovery. Pontos News reported exclusively yesterday that Professor Athanasios Bidas recently presented a suite of hard evidence at a scientific conference suggesting this latest Korinos’ tomb was that of Olympias, wife of King Philip of Macedonia and mother of Alexander the Great.

In 2019, Professor Bidas read a set of ancient inscriptions that led him to believe he had identified the Tomb of Korinos as the tomb of Olympias (born circa 375 BC; died 316 BC), mother of Alexander the Great .

The professor said that having inspected hundreds of Macedonian graves he was particularly impressed by the size of The Tomb of Korinos. Dr Bidas suggested that the tomb must have belonged to “a great person” because it was a miniature version of the tomb of Alexander the Great himself.

Don’t open it.
If there was ever a woman who could have turned into a vampire or a hungry ghost through sheer evil, it was her.

Let’s just say Olympias stacked a few bodies, including her husband, his second wife, Eurydice, and her son.
Hillary! would be as a midget next her and her strength of will.

Thanks to the Chinese and Fauci I didn’t spend 6 months in Greece this winter like I was suppose to. Thanks China. Thanks Fauci. You’re the best.

It isn’t “Ancient Origens”, and that site is midlevel crappy.
