King Phillip II of Macedon Tomb

I just realized that I totally forgot to mention one of our stops on our Northern Greece Tour. We visited the tomb of King Phillip II that was one of only two royal tombs to ever be discovered untouched, meaning the grave robbers did not find them. The other royal tomb found untouched was King Tut's. On November 8, 1977, this untouched royal tomb was discovered in Vergina, Greece. This tomb was discovered and never taken out of the ground. Instead, they built a museum around it. In this mound where they found Phillip's tomb, they also found four other royal tombs as well, although they could not identify three of the other four. One of the other tombs is believed to have belonged to one of King Phillip's many sons. King Phillip's was totally in tack like it was the day it had been buried when they discovered it. Once they discovered it, they knew that being exposed to the outside air would destroy the tomb fast. So, they surrounded it with plexiglas and kept it at a stable temperature which is why we can view it in the condition it is today. The tomb contained many artifacts from golden armor to bones of animals. They even found a woman's remains in the tomb with King Phillip's. Some believe that this was one of many wives that was killed the same day Phillip was. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures of anything in the museum, but here are some images that I found on Google. This is exactly how everything looked when I saw it.
