What Ancient Amphipolis Tomb Looked Like

[Linet]

Αμα ο ταφος ειναι του Αλεξη παιζει να γινει κανα λαικο προσκυνημα.

Πλακα θα'χει αμα τον κανουν κανενα reconstruction σαν τον Φιλιππο Β' και βγει και αυτος κανας ασχημος με παρομοια βλαχικη φατσα.

Έλα μωρέ, δεν ήταν κούκλος αλλά δεν ήταν και άσχημος ο Φίλιππος
...Άμα είναι του Αλέξη, θα γίνει λαϊκό προσκύνημα....

Έλα μωρέ, δεν ήταν κούκλος αλλά δεν ήταν και άσχημος ο Φίλιππος
...Άμα είναι του Αλέξη, θα γίνει λαϊκό προσκύνημα....

Δες φατσα.

[Linet]

Δες φατσα.

Έλα μωρέ, του έκαναν κοντό το πρόσωπο και τεράστιο μέτωπο : ....και πες μου, που το ηξεραν ότι είχε φαλάκρα; μου λες;

Έλα μωρέ, του έκαναν κοντό το πρόσωπο και τεράστιο μέτωπο : ....και πες μου, που το ηξεραν ότι είχε φαλάκρα; μου λες;

Απ΄το κρανιο του ειναι.

[Linet]

Απ΄το κρανιο του ειναι.

Πιστεύεις χρησιμοποίησαν τα ίδια τα οστά; Εγώ θα υπέθετα ότι προσπάθησαν να αναπαραστήσουν το άγαλματίδιο του προσώπου του Φιλίππου .

Update: Archaeologists gain access to third chamber of Amphipolis tomb site

Archaeologists working at the site of Amphipolis, northern Greece, on Friday gained access to the third chamber of the massive tomb.

The site workers entered the chamber after removing a large volume of earth behind a wall bearing the two sculpted female figures, or caryatids, that were uncovered over the weekend.

According to a Culture Ministry statement issued on Thursday, the statues are of “exceptional artistic quality.”

In comments to reporters on Friday, the ministry's general secretary Lina Mendoni

described Greece's "cultural reserves" as "a massive power" for the country.

The Amphipolis excavation has fueled intense media attention as the site dates to the era of Alexander the Great’s death and some archaeologists have suggested relatives of the warrior king might be buried ther

Update: Amphipolis: Third chamber in danger of caving in

Archaeologists entering the third chamber of the ancient tomb at Amphipolis are facing problems with detachments such as around the marble pillars where a visible portion of the vertical walls have detached parts, according to the Ministry of Culture. The detached parchments are believed to be the result of immense pressure to the area, possibly due to the tall embankments on the side of the dome.

The arch dome of the tomb is on the verge of collapse and archaeologists are proceeding slowly.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports press release said that members of the scientific team entered the third chamber from the existing hole in the wall of the third sealing wall in order to document and determine the structural condition inside so as to take the necessary support measures.

Greek Culture Ministry Releases Caryatids’ Full Body Photographs

New revelations regarding the ancient tomb of Amphipolis have everyone on the edge of their seats. The Greek Culture Ministry has finally released full-body photographs of the two caryatids “guarding” the tomb.

After removing three rows of limestone which had been used to seal the wall, archaeologists were able to fully uncover the two caryatids reaching a height of 2.27 meters. They statues are dressed in long chitons and long fringed dresses with folds.

They are also wearing sandals, decorated with red and yellow color, while their toes have been sculpted with great detail.

The statues are placed on marble pedestals, reaching up to 1.33 meters in length, 0.68 meters in width and, for now, 0.30 meters in height. The front of the pedestals have been sculpted with stanchions following the pattern of the wall lining. The distance between the two pedestals is 1.68 meters, the same length as the opening of the first septal wall where the Sphinxes are located. The pedestal of the eastern caryatid has a distinct red color.

Meanwhile, while removing the soil from the area around the caryatids, archaeologists found parts of their hands and arms. While excavations progress, archaeologists have discovered that the tomb is larger than they originally thought. In fact, today, September 21, it was announced that the third chamber held a door which probably leads to another, fourth chamber. Archaeologists working on the site have noted that excavations in the fourth chamber are expected to be very difficult.
