Amphipolis: Leon is the “key” of the mystery
The possibility that the tomb of Amphipolis hides the grave of Alexander the Great is considered unlikely by the Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Aristotle University and member of the Academy of Athens Michalis Tiberios.
“What is certain is that it’s a grave of single size and shape. Beyond that, it’s known from historical sources that Alexander III wasn’t buried in Macedonia. But even if this was the case, the burial would take place in Aegae, where the tombs of the kings of Macedonia are, not in Amphipolis” he said to Voria.gr rejecting the reasoning for a cenotaph, which was prepared in Macedonia for Alexander the Great, before his desire to be buried in Alexandria became known.
About the scenario that the tomb belongs to Roxanne and her son to Alexander the Great, Tiverios believes that it’s also unlikely, but didn’t rule it out.
