A very exciting report from Greece in the Daily Mail indicates that a massive site has been found that may be the burial place of Alexander the Great
This is still pretty iffy but there is no doubt that something important has been unearthed. Installations of this size are not common.
There are a number of photos at the Daily Mail and, of course, much more to the story.
Archaeologists have uncovered what could be the grave of Alexander the Great at a site near ancient Amphipolis.
The warrior king - who ruled in the 4th century BC - was thought to be buried in Egypt. But experts have now become excited after they uncovered a marble-faced wall dating from the time.
The structure measures an impressive wall measuring 500 metres long and three metres high, which archaeologists believe could contain a royal grave.
The site near ancient Amphipolis lies 370 miles north of Athens.
