The curator of Western Civilizations in the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa Terrence Clark stresses from Thessaloniki that “If i had to place a bet, i would have guessed that the tomb belongs to the mother of Alexander the Great, Olympias. There are enough indications”.
On the occasion of today’s event at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki for the presentation of the North American tour of the exhibition “The Greeks: Agamemnon to Alexander the Great”, Mr. Clark said that from the excavation of the majestic tomb castes emerge exceptional sculptures and moving findings .
Finally the archeologist added that “The monument is in itself is very important no matter what part of the history will connect to eventually” .
