Archaeologists Plan To Use Technology to “Unlock” Amphipolis Secrets

It was reported that the Greek archaeologists who are currently excavating the site at Amphipolis have contacted the University of Thessaloniki in order to ask the Department of Geophysics for help in solving the mysteries of the mysterious tomb.

According to Greek press reports, Professor Grigoris Tsokas told the Ethnos newspaper that the Greek Culture Ministry has contacted the lab in order to find out if it would be willing to perform an electrical tomography on the Kasta Hill where the tomb is located.

The university lab’s head told the newspaper that the scientific team is positive about performing a tomography and added that the lab would be able to give the culture ministry the findings seven to ten days after they collect the data.

In other news, a new video that is currently circulating on the web and which was created by the “Ancient Greece 3D” team, presents the magnitude of the tomb in a slow 3D motion style and compares its enormity to that of the Acropolis, the Sphinxes in Egypt and even the Taj Mahal in India.

Meanwhile, famous blogger and well known British archaeologist Dorothy Lobel King said in a recent blog post that:

      "Greeks should be proud of both the monument formerly known as The Lion Tomb, and the work of the team there.
       Whether or not the monument at Amphipolis turns out to be a tomb or a heroon, and whether it was a simple monument or one of several, of course will only become clear as work progresses.
      To "purr with pleasure" is an English expression to show contentment, and one could argue that every find Katerina Peristeri makes at Amphipolis makes us "purr with pleasure."
