"Tombs of the family of Alexander the Great finally giving up their secrets"

"The team’s finds were published in an academic journal 2015. Although hampered by underfunding and a lack of support from those fearing unwanted results, they continued to push for ‘next-generation’ forensics: DNA testing, radiocarbon dating, and stable isotope analysis on the Tomb II and Tomb III bones.

Permission was denied in 2016, Grant reveals. Instead, the scientists were allowed to test the scattered bones found in looted ‘Tomb I’, but with no formal funding provided."

"Now Grant’s new book is revealing all, the pressure will certainly be on the Greek Ministry of Culture to take a new progressive stance on permitting the outstanding forensics on the ‘royal’ bones from the unlooted tombs. With the possible identities greatly narrowed down by the Antikas-team study, new DNA, radio carbon dating and stable isotope analysis of the ‘king’, ‘queen’ and ‘prince’ may solve the puzzle once and for all."


Remember when Petroulis tried claiming theres nothing to find? All cremations? Well; in the words of Maury Povich , that was a lie......

Note, they were only allowed to test the looted tomb one with littered dead. Not tomb 2 or 3, where lay the royal remains, specifically princely bones in tomb 3. I wonder why.....

Afraid of the results, lol. Petroloulisopoulos's walls are caving in....

Dacian? Good one.

It concerns any who want to learn about this stuff. It’s a big find. Whatever. The find from tomb one were allowed. Probably will be in that guys book. Just not the royals(fear of course).

The finds of tomb one should be enough to learn something about that time period. We have no remains as of yet for this time period there.

So it's not like you want them to be Illyrian or something?
anyways If there's any fear in the Greek political world(who are nothing but puppets ofc) it's certainly not because it'd be a "blow" to Greek ethnogenesis as many neighbors would like to think...more like the opposite as been proven before.

"While there was great excitement, the announcement also caused huge political disturbances. The breakup of Yugoslavia had only recently taken place and heated debates had ensued after a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia tried to name itself the ‘Republic of Macedonia’, when ‘Macedonia’ had been the name of the northern part of Greece for thousands of years. They were tense times and the Greek Government was concerned with the heightened nationalism spurred on by the discovery of the tomb believed to belong to Alexander the Great, a Macedonian.

As a result, the Greek Government called a stop to the excavations through direct ‘diplomatic intervention’. The then Prime Minister, Costas Simitis, sent an advisor of the Greek Embassy to ask the Egyptian government to withdraw Ms Souvaltzi’s permission to excavate and to prevent any further excavations of the tomb.

The Egyptian government immediately informed Ms Souvaltzi about this intervention, telling her that it was the first time that something like this had happened, where they had been requested to pull the plug on the excavations of such an important monument. They told her that if she wanted to continue, she would need to resolve it with the Greek government. Ms Souvaltzi contacted Mr Pagalos, a Minister in the Greek Government, who explained to her that the discovery of Alexander’s tomb would increase nationalism in Greece, which was not desired at that time. When the new Greek government replaced the old one, she tried again to move the blockage and reinstate the excavations permit. However, every effort was blocked at the highest levels.

In a recent interview on a Greek TV channel, Leana Souvaltzi mentioned that while in Egypt, an Israeli ambassador visited the tomb in the Oasis, accompanied by a team of scientists. The ambassador admitted to her that it was a very big discovery but that it would change the political situation in Egypt and disrupt the balances between a number of other countries. The ambassador told her that, while she had the courage to fight for the truth, sometimes when you expose the truth, you pay for it.

Twenty years after her incredible discovery, Ms Souvaltzi still fights for the permission to continue her excavations. She has devoted her life and invested her personal money into this project and expressed deep concern regarding the preservation of the monument, which would have since suffered extensive erosion.

Today, the magnificent tomb believed to belong to Alexander the Great sits in the Oasis of Siwa guarded by the Egyptian authorities. No one goes in and, for the time being, no one has permission to enter the final chamber, which could solve, once and for all, one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world."


*And what type of politician fits the "proper" criteria to serve as a minister in Greece?like mr Pagalos ? here's the answer https://vaaju.com/greeceeng/th-panga...perors-priest/

I really don’t care what the remains show. I’m just a history junky and this would be amazing to learn about.

It’s just not hard to see there’s some fear mongering involved. Otherwise why prohibit testing on the princely bones in tomb 3? Other than fear I don’t see a motivating factor for the prohibition. Plain and simple really.

Same goes for the tomb believed to be Alexanders in Egypt. Yet, I’m not sure as to their fears, he was never an Egyptian.

Any covering of the truth in these matters has more long term ramifications than short term. Who cares if feathers are ruffled. People have a right to learn the truth. Whatever it may be.

Or the ministry could be fearing for absolutely nothing and remains come out to support their long held beliefs.

I see you repeat the same in other threads ,are you playing dumb ? I gave you the answer already ,yes I agree who cares what feathers are ruffled but that's how politics work there's no sovereignty just puppets serving the interest of superior lobbies... either way there's no genetic result that would disprove their Greekness ,even If they were to come out "minoan" your kind and skopjans would still find a way to turn it to your favor and the "story" would go on.

assuming you are not a malice intended pseudoskopjian you can't just say politics is ''plain and simple''

my guess is that Alexander the Great tomb is somewhere known to the oligarchs and they ban and point at Greece (or Egypt) as a distraction. Denying the DNA testing cause of fear of skopjians is the most laughable argument one could make...plain and simple.

[catgeorge]

Alexander the Great DNA will only depict the original genetic marker of the Royal House of Argos - the Macedonians are already known to be Mycenean/Dorian-like. So make up as much theories as you like.. enjoy it.
