Andrew Tsag the investigator and author of the book “Seeking the tomb of Alexander the Great”, suggests that the tomb probably belongs to either the mother of Alexander, Olympia or his wife Roxanne, according to the article.

In the meantime, a different article of the same newspaper gives a very detail report of the new investigations about to begin this month in the sea area of Antikythira, while emphasizing the “sophisticated technical equipment” to be used and especially the divers outfit which is designed to give them the ability to extend their time length in the bottom of the sea.

As they report the shipwreck of Antikythira was first discovered in 1900. After the initial discovery, it was then explored only once in 1976 by Jacques Cousteau for a few weeks, until the winter of 2012, when a divers team from Woods Hole and the Greeks began a more systematic exploration in the sea around the island.
Further, the second article also refers to a second shipwreck while historical sources portray the two ships to be traveling together.
