Global interest for Amphipolis!

British are monitoring the excavations on the hill castes and ask for the recorded video material.

The news about the discovery of the largest Macedonian tomb in Greece makes the round of the world. Over the next few days, an eight-member crew of the BBC with full technical equipment will be installed outside the archaeological site of Mesolakias, in order to transmit all the developments of the excavation. According to thousandnews, BBC colleagues in Greece have already requested information from the delegates of the Municipal Television TV 100 Thessaloniki to monitor developments from the first moment. Noteworthy is the fact that BBC expressed immediate interest in the entire video material recorded so far.

A producer of BBC on Saturday visited Mesolakia, in order to establish the technical infrastructure of the communications area required for transmission. Obstacles may appear in the work of journalists in Mesolakia, as mobile phones, due to overloading of the network, often don't work and there are problems in using the Internet. An important problem is also a room to stay, as the nearest single pension is 25 km away. They are already considering placing a large caravan.

The scenario of comrades of Alexander
The theory closer to the secret of the tomb appears to concern comrades of Alexander the Great, as generals and admirals. Like the Cretan Nearchus, who was the head of his fleet, or the admiral Laomedon. "This is the first generation that returns after 320 BC to Macedonia, has financial wherewithal and the ability of such a construction. At the end of the 4th century BC, the tap with money from the East closes up, because sovereign states are created" is highlighted by influential archaeologists, who don't exclude other possibilities. For all these, experts will decide. "We need to stay alone for a while, to really work" the excavators mention.
