Philip II of Macedon.

Abstract: (10 pp) Who was buried in the tomb below? In early 1977 it was thought to be Philip II, son of Amyntas, king of the Macedonians and Captain General of the united Greeks, created an understandable sensation, and aroused world-wide interest in this extraordinary personality - father of Alexander the Great, one of the greatest Macedonian kings, and also one of the most important political figures of antiquity. Alexander still holds the title of one of the great conquerors; all of that would have been much more difficult if his war-like father had not paved the way. Bibliography lists 6 sources (photo of external tomb included).
