Greek Historian on Amphipolis: "The tomb belongs to Alexander the Great"

While the world waits anxiously for archaeologists to finally reveal who is burried at the sacred tomb in Amphipolis, many archeologists and prominent figures are giving their own theories as to who was actually laid to rest there.

Joining the international speculation, and while speaking on the evening news on Alpha TV on Tuesday night, historian and author Sarantos Kargakos said that he is convinced that the tomb belongs to Alexander the Great.
     "The monument shows that this tomb belongs to a very eminent man. Who was more eminent than Alexander? " he asked.
      "(Alexander the Great's mother) Olympias would never have left the side of the remains of her son. It just reaffirms my belief that my hunch is true," he argued.
He further explained:
     "The fact that she did not go to Babylon, where the remains of Alexander were hosted for two years nor attended his transfer from Alexandria to Babylon makes me believe that this woman who ruled Macedonia until 316, may have secretly transferred the relics of her son to Macedonia. "
A few days before making this statement on Alpha Channel, the prominent historian also made the same statements on ANT1 Channel. (VIDEO BELOW)
