Remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, confirmed found
Buried beneath a large mound located in the village of Vergina in northern Greece, an archaeological excavation carried out in 1977 by Greek archaeologists Manolis Andronikos uncovered a spectacular collection of three tombs, most famously one with a man and woman in royal Macedonian splendor. Tomb 2 has been the subject of intense debate ever since, dividing archaeologists over whose cremated remains were housed inside two golden caskets – Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, and the last of his wives; or Philip III Arrhidaeus, Alexander’s half-brother, who assumed the throne after Alexander’s death, with his wife Eurydice.
New research suggests that Tomb 2 was, indeed, the final resting place of Philip II of Macedonia.

This seal depicts a favorite scene of the Old Babylonian period (1850 - 1595 BCE). A worshiper, probably male, stands among a number of gods. The worshiper, in a long robe and cap, offers an animal to the sun-god Shamash, who rests one foot on a stool and holds the saw of justice in his outstretched hand. The sun disk, nestled in a crescent, floats between the two. The goddess Lama stands with her hands raised in supplication, interceding for the worshiper with the more powerful gods. Behind Lama, a male figure in a kilt holds a curving weapon at his side, and another figure behind Shamash holds the bucket and “sprinkler” associated with fertility.
