    Default Huge underground tomb discovered.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4707014.stm

    "Archaeologists in Greece say they are examining the largest underground tomb ever found in the country.

    They said a farmer had stumbled across the tomb carved into the rock near the ancient city of Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great.

    Archaeologists believe it dates to the period after Alexander's death, which was marked by mass power struggles."

    I don't know if this is entirely EB relevant. But pretty cool huh? And possibly bringing to light more information that could be useful to EB. Our understanding of history evolves as we speak.

    Doubtful, but perhaps there are paintings or inscriptions on the walls. Sounds like there might be some loose change too.

    Well some one has to be baried in there. Or at the very least there should be some evidance of a body being there at one point. Do they know who's tomb it is?
