14 DAY TRIAL // Archaeologists in Greece have been exploring a 4th century BC tomb in the country's Serres regional unit for several weeks now. However, they are still pretty much clueless when it comes to the identity of the person this tomb was built for.
Recent news on the topic says that, having excavated 3 chambers placed one after the other, researchers failed to find any human remains. Hence, some were quick to argue that, all things considered, it could be that the tomb was never used.
However, this changed when archaeologists announced that, while having a closer look at the monument's third chamber, they chanced to find yet another entrance leading to an underground vault, Daily Mail informs.
Preliminary investigations revealed that this underground chamber measures some 13 feet (4 meters) in length and 7 feet (2 meters) in width. It could be that it once served to house human remains.
As mentioned, researchers have reasons to believe that the person this tomb was built for was either a close relative of ruler Alexander the Great, or one of his generals. Hopefully, it won't be long until this mystery is solved.
It's important to note that, according to evidence at hand, this ancient tomb in Greece was robbed sometime in antiquity. Thus, it could be that, even if somebody was in fact once laid to rest inside it, their remains no longer sit here.
