The remains of Phillip II of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great have been identified.

But not where they were thought to be

Archaeology is cool.

Nice find, Beccs.

Funny how little he looks like Val Kilmer.  Gratifying, but funny.

And I bet we'll still get Christians claiming there is more evidence for Jesus than Alexander the Great...

I just remembered that huge tomb they found a while ago too, which was thought to belong to his mother. I think I'll have a look if there is any news on that.
